How Effective Is Helios Laser Treatment For Skin Pigmentation Problems?

Hi Doctor,I think i have started to develop skin pigmentation due to tanning. I had tried all kinds of face washes but no go. I decided to visit derma care where my derma suggested helios laser treatment which lasted a minute. And gave me vichy sunscreen, ban a tan and sebamed foam. Next week is the chemical peeling (glycolic acid) . So are all these things necessary? If so can i get a clean and clear face after funding so much? Is it really worth it? Appreciate ur reply

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have skin pigmentation problem . Well the taning or hyper pigment occur due to increase in production of melanin pigment from cells called melanocytes . Well there can be many treatment options for hyper pigmentation and laser , chemical peeling are also one of the options . I would suggest you to try other options first like applying kojic acid cream ( kojivit ) twice a day daily aafter washing affected area with cold water and mild soap . Kojic acid is very effective and safe for use . Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove dead skin . If condition doesn't get better in a month then then go for laser therapy and chemical peeling which are good options for treatment , but only under expert's supervision .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
