“Squares on my chest from ipl”

IPL: NOT worth it

Cost: $400
Pain: Uncomfortable
IPL satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor
Seeking help:

I have had ipl several times in the past with great results on both my face and chest for sun damage. I just had my chest done again 3 weeks ago and I have pink squares all over that are very noticeable. Am I scarred or will this go away? Everyone comments on it.
Review of IPL:

I've had sun damage and wanted it corrected. I've done ipl in the past and was very happy with it. I'm worried I am permanently scarred with pink squares all over my chest.

I would discuss this with the whoever did the procedure. Temporary application of Desonide cream may help twice each day for a week or two. This is not likely to be permanently scarrred. Just protect it from the sun with a good sunscreen for the next few weeks.
