Miscellaneous: Many of the dyes are supplied by a variety of sources, some unlicensed. Fortunately, complications are rare. Some complications may include localized swellings underneath the skin (granuloma), loss of hair and even permanent scarring. The area may appear like a sun burn for a few months and ultimately the skin will become normal.
Can lasers remove all colors equally well?
No, different lasers may remove different colors. In general, blue, black, green and red colors fade way the fastest. Yellow is the most difficulty color to remove. Most lasers are only capable of putting out one wavelength, which significantly limits their ability to treat colors selectively without causing scarring or pigment changes. Some colors may require more treatments, but they can be usually removed.
Can the pigmentation changes seen during pregnancy be removed with laser?
Yes, but melasma is a physiological change of pregnancy and will disappear after birth. There is absolutely no need for a pregnant female to undergo an expensive laser procedure during this time period. Plus, one can’t tell what may happen to the fetus
What care is required of the laser treated area?
There may be some pinpoint bleeding but one should keep the area clean and dry. One can take a shower the next day but not scrub the treated area.
Can laser remove permanent make up?
The majority of permanent makeups have metallic bases and when they come into contact with laser, the make up is usually darkened. Once this darkening occurs it is not possible to remove the discoloration
In addition, most physicians do not like to use the laser near the eye. You never know what can happen.
