Had Scars On Face Caused Due To Pimples. Used Dermaroller. Now Got Hyper-pigmentation. Can It Be Cured Permanently?
Hi. I had little scars on my face which are caused due to pimples, so i went to a dermatologist, she advised me to take dermaroller treatment for 10 sessions, 1 session for each week, she used 2mm dermaroller... Now i have completed 8 sessions i can see little reduction in scar appearance... but now i had got hyperpigmentation on those areas where the treatment has been done..... first of all i would like to get rid of this hyperpigmentation because i had campus interviews to attend... my doctor told me it can be done through peels... in 6 sessions....each week 1 peel..... she also suggested me to apply hhlite cream at evening 7pm and kozimax cream at night 10 pm.....
My Query is
1.whether hypepigementation caused due to dermaroller can be cured permanently...because i am really scared by looking my face in the mirror
2. Whether it requires 6 sessions of chemical peels to get rid of hyperpigmentation.
3. Is their any alternative remedy to get rid of hyperpigmentation in fast because i dont have that much time for campus placements
4. what about meladerm cream for hyperpigmentation.... because one of my friend told that it can get rid of hyperpigmentation? Is it good?
Pls answer my quries.. I am really confused

Hi, usually pigmentation post roller is unusual, secondly sittings every week for roller is unnecessary as collagen modulation is a slow process and will not depend on how quickly sessions are done.
pigmentation cud be removed not to worry.
ya 6 sessions of glycolic acid peels can be done with may be a hydroquinone or kojic acid peel
you may apply a hydroquinone cream in morn and glycolic acid cream at night instead of hhlite cream as it may aggravate acne and may cause irritation.
meladerm cream is not an fda approved product
take care
