Dermatologist Shereene Idriss shows a patient's 10-year transformation from sun-damaged hyperpigmentation to clear skin. The before photo is from 2013, the after from 2021. Laser treatment alone doesn't work; you need a daily skincare routine that targets discoloration to keep results.

Board certified dermatologist. And this patient is somebody that I've been treating for 10 years now. And the point of this before and after is to show you guys that to get the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to aging and aging seamlessly, is to start by evening out your skin tone. This was back in 2013. This picture was taken in 2021. And we had worked religiously on evening at her skin tone. And what you're noticing in the before are not freckles. So all the frecklers out there, before you come at me, I am not attacking freckles. I am attacking sun damage. Even people with freckles can develop sun damage. And guess what? Once you do, your freckles unfortunately will start to look messy. But this was purely sun damage. And we worked on evening out her skin tone to get her to hear. But working on evening out your skin tone through laser treatments alone is like going in for a teeth cleaning once a year without brushing your teeth every day. You must have a consistent skincare routine targeting, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, if this is the goal you're trying to achieve.
