I had my 3rd IPL 3 weeks ago and she did my face and 12spots on my chest. My second treatment included 2 spots on my chest which they turned out fine. This 3rd time my chest has 12 1/2 inch squares that were deeply burned (2nd-3rd degree) with blisters, very painful, and after two weeks went from bright pink to light pink/white.she said she used the same hand piece, but my face was fine and I feel my chest is permanently scared--she says she doesnt know how that happened. Could someone please tell me if I was burned, will these 12 squares all over my chest be permanent? Shes claiming no resposibility, but something went wrong---What? Thank you for your response. Carla
