Sorry, RV, your dermo doesn’t know what he/she is on about in regards to Laser. But 99% don’t. Laser can only temporarily help with acne. It’s a side effect that many women note when having it (Laser) done on the face, during treatments only. But the hair usually comes back too as Laser is not appropriate for the face. Laser Therapy to actually treat acne/hyperpigmentation is a totally different kind.
LOL, my derm never said that laser was a permanent fix for acne. I’m aware that it’s temporary. I went for my pigmentation that resulted from acne and it has helped with that. Yes, I was informed that hair removal is one of the side effects for the acne. I never said that the laser used for the acne/pigmentation would be the same kind that will be used for hair. I meant laser therapy in a broad way and to say that I about it when I went for the acne treatment. Laser therapy for darker skins can be a bit risky…and requires the assessment of a professional. And there are different types of lasers and they have various functions. What works for one person may not for another. Usually conditions like acne require a holistic approach (cleaning your face right, reducing stress, using right products, eating healthy, vitamins, etc) to maintain the skin.
