Abstract
The author provides his perspective on resurfacing procedures in dark-skinned patients, advising a cautious approach to laser resurfacing. Laser complications in Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI, including hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, and scarring, are well documented. Unlike chemical peeling and dermabrasion, with laser resurfacing, preoperative treatment does not control postoperative hyperpigmentation.Entities:
