Not Worth It
Spent: $400 in Encino,ca

ipl with bad burns. Hated it. Melasma is worse. Don't know if I will heal completely. It's been 6 weeks and I am very hyperpigmented.

I had an ipl 6 weeks ago for melasma, and got severe burns. I have hyperpigmentation badly on one cheek from this and am wondering if this will go away, and if so how long will it take? My melasma is worse now. What can I do to fix this? I am currently using biafine on this, is this what I should be using?

Go to an aesthetics and get on Obagi Nu Derm system. That's what I had to do when I got burned and my face hyperpigmented worse. It will go away and Obagi is a great system for your skin condition. Also get some C serum and Nia complex. I wish I had done this in the first place. My skin has done so well, I don't even wear makeup much anymore, and I've been faithfully been using foundation for many, many years. Hope this helps you out. I know it is getting expensive, but it shouldn't be more than 300.00 of not less.
