Laser treatment can be used for the treatment of skin pigmentation yet leave normal skin intact. ‘Selective photothermolysis’ is a term that describes how pigmentation ‘selectively’ takes up the energy given out from the laser in preference to that of the normal skin. This allows the laser to selectively disrupt the pigment with minimal or no damage to surrounding skin.

I have done many Candela laser treatments to remove these marks, but they are still there. I also tried using the Elure advanced lightening duo. What should I do? Please advise.
Thank you.
One doctor told me this is eczema and another told me it's Becker Nevus. What do you think? If it's Becker Nevus, does the Q-beam laser work for lightening the lesion. I have this for more the 18yrs since I was 10yrs old. HELPPP!!!
//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8204478); could a Q-switched ruby laser target the darkened raphe line (and leave it looking as though no/little surgery has taken place there)?
In anticipation of the expected objections: I know that every man has this line and it's natural.
I know from my own experience that women don't really care about it. This is about changing something for myself, "If you're not happy with something, change it".
I have tried products like bio oil and a skin lightening cream, but these have not been effective. I get breakouts on my skin very often and i have acne and rosacea. My skin used to be completely clear before i used the hair removal cream. Is there anything i can do to get rid of the marks?

Other treatment options include professional laser hair removal, electrolysis, electric razors, or cream depilatories.
Take care and regards.
If so, there are a number of treatments available. One very popular remedy has been laser skin resurfacing which helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, scars, lines and hyper pigmentation surrounding the eyes and mouth. It can also be used to treat areas on the cheeks. Laser resurfacing does not cause as much discomfort, bruising, scaring or bleeding compared to other cosmetic surgery procedures.
Hello,
I've noticed that I have a shadow-like, blackish pigment on my upper lip. I'm really confused about why I have this pigmentation because the only skin problem I have is eczema. I was once using a topical steroid to treat my eczema and I'm wondering if that caused any hormonal changes which resulted in the pigmentation.
I want to see a dermatologist, but I have no idea where to find one.
I have a 40 year old friend with similar coloring (pretty fair complexion and curly, dark thick hair). She had one laser hair removal treatment at the same spa which has resulted in the same defined dark discoloration on the upper lip after sun exposure. I have read if the incorrect setting or laser type is used for a patient's skin tone and hair type it can cause hyperpigmentation. I think this is supposed to be a temporary side effect; not long lasting.
t actually cut the affected skin out and results in very minmal scarring is the pulse laser. Treatment seems to result in almost instant relief from itching and 12 months later the problem has not reoccured. It is carried out under local anaesthetic in small areas at a time and he has had little or no discomfort afterwards. Definitely worth doing as the itching used to drive my son totally nuts!
for a long time i thought i had really stubborn eczema but until today i went to a dermatologist and i found out that it was ilven (inflammatory linear verrucous epidermal naevus)
i want to know more about treatments for ilven.
i herd about CO2 laser treatment and apparently it worked well to reduce itching...but is this long term?
also about surgery where removing parts of the skin.
