Common Patient Treatment Hesitations Many patients express concerns about the risks and side effects associated with traditional laser treatments and chemical peels, particularly when it comes to treating hyperpigmentation and melasma. Perception of Harshness Many patients view lasers as aggressive treatments. The idea of using intense heat on their skin can be intimidating. Increased Risk of Hyperpigmentation Lasers can sometimes exacerbate hyperpigmentation, especially in patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types IV-VI). Downtime and Discomfort The procedures can be painful, requiring topical anesthesia and causing prolonged sensitivity post-treatment. Eff icacy and Long-term Results Some treatments may offer only temporary improvement, with pigmentation issues recurring after a few months. Cost of Recurring Expenses The need for repeated treatments can add up over time, making it a costly option for patients seeking long-term solutions.
