I have had 1 IPL-treatment to fix a big area with red marks from acne (dermapen fixed the scars) in my forehead, and I hate that big red mark consisting of many small red marks.My dermatologist didn´t know how to treat it, she tried to treat it like blown blood vessels but she also think it can be pigmentation, but I know it is red marks after acne scars. Can you please help me, how can I get these red marks treated with IPL so they disappears? I hate looking at myself because of this.See photos
