No results after IPL treatments
I presume you are talking about hyperpigmentation that is not responding to TriLuma or IPL.
If this is melasma, it may be partially or completely dermal, which would mean it does not respond to either topical fading creams or to IPL. Dermal melasma can potentially respond to fractional laser resurfacing or to q switched laser (such as Nd YAG) treatment.
If this is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, it may also respond to these two modalities but will fail Triluma and IPL...
