Can i get laser resurfacing on my face, even though i have vitiligo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: Laser resufacing is intended to smooth the contours, but may commonly cause irregular or splotchy pigmentation. Vitiligo may be aggravated, so do a test area first before committing to the whole face.
