I had one laser treatment approximatley one week ago and now have hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and chin. One cheek has a perfect square from the laser.

I am of American Indian decent. What treatment would rid me of hyperpigmented skin caused by one treatment of IPL?
Great review?

Possible side effects were not explained

I am interested in ipl but the place that I go will not attempt the treatment until at least October. They made it clear that it is not to be done on tanned skin.
