Clients with continental, Asian or dark skin can develop hyperpigmentation (darkening) of their scar sites.
We do not suture the incisions as this allows draining of the anaesthetic fluid post procedure. This helps give a smooth result and minimises lumps, bumps and swelling post- operatively.
The Vaser Lipo scars are roughly 4mm in length and we attempt to place them in discreet positions.
So what is the solution... to minimise the pigmentation after the procedure?
We are recommending clients whose skin well may have a tendency to hyperpigment to start a depigmentation programme 4 weeks post surgery.
This involves using skin needling ( dermarolling) , retin A gel and Agera Rx phytolightening cream in a certain combination for six months.
The pigmentation lightens and the scarring is much improved.
