laser surgery for skin whitening - #20796

Anya

I am really confused about this whole laser surgery for skin whitening thing. So last summer, I had a bit of sun damage – like, you know, those pesky dark spots and uneven tone that just wouldn’t go away. Tried a bunch of creams but nothing seemed to work. My friend mentioned getting laser surgery for skin whitening, and I looked into it. Some websites say it can really help with pigmentation and even out skin tone, but then I found others that warned about side effects. I just had a consultation with a dermatologist who suggested it too but honestly I’m kind of scared. I read that laser surgery for skin whitening can sometimes lead to irritation or redness, and what if I end up with worse skin than what I started with? Some reviews seem great, but you know how people are online. Plus, seeing the price gave me a mini heart attack!! Can anyone who’s done laser surgery for skin whitening share their experience? Like, did it really make the skin lighter? How was the recovery time? Did you need multiple sessions? I'm nervous but also feel like I really want to do something about my skin. Just can't shake this feeling of doubt before making such a big decision.
