I scraped a bunch of skin off and I watched.
It took almost three months to heal.
And then I was left with like a black kind of scar afterwards.
That looks terrible, but whatever.
I'm a guy.
And then literally it took almost two years and it faded completely and you can't see it at all.
So a lot of this little stuff, and I've seen patients many years after their initial procedure where they had terrible looking legs.
And then if you wait long enough, a lot of this stuff will fade.
having lighter skin and less melatonin obviously is better, and the fading of all those little marks will be more significant or much better.
Very dark skin.
In general, people with dark skin, keloid, they have a lot of problems with hyperpigmentation.
So you have to be realistic when we have a patient with very dark skin.
We explain, look, this is what you have now.
This is what could end up.
And that patient said,
black, black veins with dark, dark skin.
And I treated it and it came out absolutely perfect.
You couldn't tell anything was there before.
And the other patients, the dark spots don't go away.
So yeah, I understand.
