Fraxel Re:pair Hyperpigmentation - Permanent?

I had Fraxel re:pair done to upper and lower eye area 9 weeks ago. I have extremely dark reddish-brown circles still that are very noticeable, even under makeup. My plastic surgeon assures me this is not permanent, but concedes that most patients would have been completely healed by now. I suggested IPL, but she keeps telling me to wait it out. Under my left eye there is an uneven jagged scar that resulted during the healing of this procedure. She tells me this will fade with time. Now what?
