[Routine Help] Laser? Chemical peel?
What would be the best treatment to get rid of my hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and texture? (My face is super red because it’s freezing where I’m at). I spent four years with a dermatologist trying every single topical treatment out there to get rid of my super bad cystic acne and after years and thousands of dollars, none of it worked. I started trying oral medication and it worked but only slightly and always came back. Got on accutane and it completely cleared up my skin. Four months after being off it my acne came back so I had to go back in for another 6 months round of accutane. Yet again cleared it up then started breaking out again. I got on minocycline and tretinoin to try to help with the acne and it’s doing a good job at keeping it at bay but now I have a bunch of hyperpigmentation, sun spots and texture that I want to get rid of. What would be the best bang for my buck to get rid of it? I heard laser and chemical peels are good for all of that but I don’t know if one is better than the other, I want cheapest but best option. If laser is 100x better then a chemical peel, even though a chemical peel is cheaper I’ll go and get laser done. I just want a nice fresh base again.
