In contrast, individuals of Hispanic skin type have a higher risk of scarring, burns, or adverse reactions, requiring caution. For darker skin types, treatment settings must be reduced. Asian skin types also carry a high risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For some individuals, especially those with darker skin types, products like hydroquinone may be needed to prep the skin.
