Several years ago, I had laser resurfacing of my lower eyelids. I developed hyperpigmentation of the skin. The doctor who treatment me said that this was normal and would resolve in time but never did. Is there anything that can be done for this issue?
A consultation with Dr. Steinsapir will prove to be very helpful in fully answering this question. However, in general, there are a number of treatments for post-laser hyperpigmenation. Dr. Steinsapir has successfully treated this condition with both fotofacial and chemical peels. So we encourage you to come in for a personal consultation to learn what can be done.
