Ok, so here are some new pics showing how the dark brown spots caused by the laser are fading. These pics were taken 3 days after my laser treatment. I took them with no flash so the color would not wash out.
You will notice how the spots are starting to break up, sort of look like pepper or coffee grounds (some folks say). I sped up the process by using Retin-A every other night to speed up the exfoliation process.
At this point, the warm sensation has passed, and I have to be careful not to pick at the spots because they become flaky. It is important to just let the skin slough off naturally, peeling the spots off can cause damage, so don’t do it!
I am careful to wear a great sunscreen everyday (as I always should!) I am pleased as it seems like a lot of the hyperpigmentation on the tops of my cheeks will be gone soon!
I have more pics to upload showing how it looks now…stay tuned!
