Also mine is a typical Indian brown skin and now i understand that diode laser is not meant for ethnic skin type , apart from these issues i have got hypomelanosis ie; small white hypopigmented dots around each hair follicle area, and I’m a lot worried if those are permanent or going to resolve over time.
Hello again!
Just wanted to update regarding the laser induced hypopigmentation and the progress I’ve made so far. It’s almost 5 months since the incident and most of the ‘tigering’ on my skin has faded(not disappeared), i think remaining marks ll be permanent as they are scars, they just look like discoloration rather than distinct scars, I’ve stopped using any cream other than moisturizer since a month. I’ve got moderate amount of hair regrowth too,even after 7 full sessions of laser and that has partly contributed to the masking effect on the scars. I’m just so happy to see them back!!! I’ll stop here because i feel i have already caused enough torture to my skin, I’m just taking the lesson and moving on… I’m too scared to even do waxing or shaving after this horrifying experience in my life… I pray that the dermatologist pay dearly for doing this injustice to me and other clients who had such experience with her! No-one deserves to go through this mental and emotional trauma in their lives.
I hope this helps anyone who is in a similar situation, the hypopigmention is going to fade considerably with time, this also depends on the degree of burns sustained and the force with which the probe was used by the dermatologist/technician on the skin, as per my understanding.
You have not given this enough time. It will continue to fade.
