Can laser treatment be used to treat skin discoloration?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor.

I recently visited a dermatologist, where I live, to be treated for skin pigmentation on my face. However, I was given tretinoin cream and advised to get the PicoSure laser treatment. I would like to hear your thoughts on this laser therapy in further depth. Will this assist me in solving my difficulties, and will there be any concerns with this specific laser?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your skin problem is caused by years of unprotected sun exposure. As a result, the skin problems are caused by sun exposure and the resulting damage. The laser you suggested is quite effective in reducing melanin pigmentation on your face caused by sun exposure. The remaining concerns will be addressed with continued sun protection, resurfacing lasers, and a range of chemical peels.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
