Official Title: Efficacy and Safety of Biocellulose Sheet From Coconut Juice Containing Anti-hyperpigmentation Agent ("Biocellulose Mask", "Farhorm®") in Patients

Brief Summary: The laser areas treated with biocellulose sheet from coconut juice containing anti-hyperpigmentation agent ("biocellulose mask", "Farhorm®") heal faster than vaseline ointment which is a standard treatment.

Detailed Summary: Volar surface at upper arm (2X2 cm) on both sides were treated with semi ablative, 1,550 nm Erbium: glass fractional laser. Biocellulose sheet from coconut juice containing anti-hyperpigmentation agent ("biocellulose mask","Farhorm®")was applied for 20 min on one side and the other side was treated with vaseline ointment. The redness, skin hydration and skin pigmentation were evaluated at that area before laser, immediately after laser and after applying the treatment. These parameters were compared between treatment (area treated with Biocellulose sheet from coconut juice containing anti-hyperpigmentation agent, "biocellulose mask", "Farhorm®") and control (vaseline ointment).

Current Primary Outcome: The skin pigmentation immediately after laser therapy and after using biocellulose mask [ Time Frame: Change from immediately after laser treatment and 30 min after laser and treatment with mask ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
