Caution receiving invasive treatments in salon
It sounds as if you were more likely treated with a chemical peel
or a high potency hydroquinone. The inflammation from this treatment resulted
in what is called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.Increase the topical steroid to 2 or 3 times
a day and you mau avert long term pigmentation,
