Used Laser to Remove my Sun Spots and Freckles - Taipei, TW

ORIGINAL POST

I wanted to remove a large sun spot from my face...

I wanted to remove a large sun spot from my face and decided to get rid of all my small freckles as well. But my doctor did not inform me that I would have a bunch of red spots all over my face as a side effect of the laser and that they will last 7-10 days. Now I'm super worried I will have scarring or hyper pigmentation, especially after all the reviews I've read. But we will see...

You need a topical steroid cream ASAP or you will get post inflammatory hyper pigmentation! 1% Triamcinolone is would work but requires a prescription.
Doctor prescribed me with Mometasone Furoate 0.1% (Elomet Cream) but he said to use it only when they start itching. Is this a topical steroid cream? And should I start putting it on now?
Oh God!! she does not have fungal infection, it is just a laser damage. You cant say Triamcinolone.
Hi Denise, can you update your post? What is your situation now?
How is your skin now? Qswitch was done on my skin and I m still dealing with Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Thank you for sharing and sorry you had that experience! I certainly wouldn't expect spots where you had none to begin with. Any update?
which doctor did you see in Taipei?
please update with a recent photo. I am very interested in a procedure. I would like to know if this really worked for you. thank you
