Side effects that can occur after treatment are dark spots after inflammation which can be found in people with dark skin and those who do not have proper sun protection
It is also important to choose the type of laser. In terms of post-laser inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it was found that erbium-type lasers caused less post-laser hyperpigmentation. Carbon Dioxide Laser (Carbondioxide)
