laser skin lightening for black skin - #21530

Yash

I am a bit confused and kinda worried about my skin after hearing about laser skin lightening for black skin. I’ve got some dark spots and uneven tone from acne that’s really bothering me. I first noticed it getting worse a few months ago and have tried all sorts of creams and treatments that just don’t seem to work. My friend mentioned laser skin lightening for black skin as an option, but I’m not sure if it's safe and effective. I’ve seen mixed reviews online, with some people swearing by it and others saying it caused irritation!! Also, I wonder if laser skin lightening for black skin is different from other types of skin and if it can affect melanin production in a bad way? Like, what happens to my skin after? Is there downtime, and how many sessions would one typically need? I read somewhere that certain lasers could be harsher on darker skin types—is that true? I just want to make sure that whatever I do is safe. Any insights or personal experiences with laser skin lightening for black skin would be super helpful.
