Brief Answer:
Triple combination cream and sunscreen

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Hyperpigmentation is a very common complication after laser.

If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply triple combination cream containing hydroquinone, tretinoin and mometasone (melalite Xl) cream on the pigmented patches at night along with the application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen on the entire face during the day time for 2 weeks.

This will lighten the pigmentation.

Triple combination creams are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
