I'm between a skin type 3 and 4 and I recently had an IPL treatment where I crusted, blistered and peeled and was inflamed for 2 weeks. My skin was pink where the skin lifted prematurely but has since turned dark brown. I would like to do some lightening treatments or peels to reduce this ASAP. How soon can I start having these types of treatments and what would you recommend.
