IPL and Genisis will not typically give you optimal results for "moderately deep lines on the upper lip". Consider a stronger resurfacing laser, Botox, and a filler like Restylane for best results. You will be happier in the long term...

Sigh, I'm sorry. Unfortunately, the short answer is "no" hypopigmentation doesn't resolve. Because in essence the pigment has been removed from there, and you cannot get it back. You can try to have further IPL (from a doctor's office only!!) to lighten the skin around the very hypopigmented...
Sometimes after a procedure like this, the skin can become irritated. If there is redness and itching, it may be fine to use some hydrocortisone 1% cream. If it persists, I would encourage you to see your physician.
