Had my first IPL treatment on neck/chest by my dermatologist. 2 hours later I see grid marks looking like burns w/ welts and sent her a pic. Her response was looks like we achieved a great response. I showed my plastic surgeon, she was alarmed by the aggressive treatment, said the dermatologist should have done overlapping but didn't think the skin looked blistered/burned. Will this improve with a 2nd treatment if she treats between the grid marks? Should I get a prescription for Hydroquinone?

After 3 days I still have these grid marks on my face. Will my skin tone even out? I went in and spoke with PA that preformed the proceedure and was told it was a complimentary IPL since the machine was down that day and that these spots with slough in a few days. I had no idea until I called worried about the grid marks and spots that I had NOT had the 1st of 3 Icon laser non ablative treatments that I had paid for . Will my skin tone be even, will dark spots go away ?
I got IPL hair removal on my legs, but my whole thigh was severly burnt. Its been 6 months now and i have brown marks all over my thigh. What do you reccommend? I have tried LED and also cutera genesis treatments but they have not helped. The place where i got it done are now suggesting i try IPL again to treat the hyperpigmentation. I am just scared as i dnt want the brown marks to get worse. I am of indian origin of olive complexion. Im desperate for some expert opinions as Im getting married.
I had my first IPl treatment yesterday for multiple hyperpigmented sunspots on my face. I did my research and selected an experienced dermatologist office. The results were as expected right after the procedure (mild pain during procedure, burning sensation for a few hours, and then darkening of the hyperpigmented areas with the coffee grind look). However- I also have a dark brown grid-like appearance on my forehead? Will this resolve? When and how can I speed this along?
Hi - I'm a 48 year old female - I had a Morpheus 8 treatment on my face and neck 5 months ago. For weeks after I had orange peel texture issues and grid marks. Now, I have red dot grid marks all over my face and neck. I can cover them with makeup but now I wish I had never done this procedure at all - I never returned for my other 2 procedures. I'm considering IPL to fade the red spots. What would you recommend? I have been using medication grade skincare since the procedure.
