What are the risks of using Hydroquinone for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The marks you are observing seem to be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation resulting from the laser session. Not to worry, as this pigmentation is expected to fade within 3 to 4 weeks.

I would suggest you do the following:

1. Apply 10% Aziderm (Azelaic acid) cream during the daytime for the next 2 weeks (unless allergic to Hydroquinone).
2. Use Sebamed face wash twice daily for the next 2 weeks.
3. Take one tablet of Antoxid HC (antioxidant capsule) after breakfast daily for the next 30 days.
4. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and ensure you take necessary sun protection measures.
5. Incorporate Ahaglow face wash as a scrub twice weekly for the next 6 weeks.
6. It is crucial not to scratch or rub the affected areas.

If you have any further concerns or if the pigmentation persists, do not hesitate to reach out.

Regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

To address your issue, I would suggest you avoid high concentrations of Hydroquinone. Instead, consider using Kojivit plus Depigmentation cream (Octinoxate, Glycolic acid, Kojic acid, grape seed oil, aArbutin, vitamin E, mulberry extract, and Allantoin) at night for the next 21 days. High concentrations of Hydroquinone can potentially cause burning or irritation, especially for individuals with sensitive skin.

If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

Regards.
