Probably not much. When laser resurfacing leaves excess pigment, that goes away, but too little pigment is usually permanent. You may be able to lessen the contrast with regular skin by lightening the border. Have you asked your laser surgeon? If so, you may want to get another opinion from a diiferent physician experienced with laser resurfacing and its aftermath.

What is your opinion on having the colour permanently tattooed in. Also do you know any good companies providing effective cover up make up?
