I have had a test patch done on my face for IPL for freckles on my face, I have fair freckly skin and sensitive around cheek area, I have three dark freckles under both my eyes a couple of them are pretty close to eye, I hate these freckles and these are the ones I really want rid of as they are big ones, can I scar if I go ahead with this, can it cause more damage under my eye or cause more wrinkles, I am 37. I am having full face IPL treatment in couple days, Is there a safer setting under eye
