Left my First IPL Session Severe 2nd Degree Burns, Blisters and Permanently Scarred/hypopigmented Arms - Europe

By the way, Kiki, I just saw your earlier post about the results you've been having on your face- sounds like a nightmare. How long has it been now? Is the redness getting any better?

PS- Sorry Britt, for calling you Barbara! (I don't know why I had that name in my head as I was typing).

Thanks Barbarba and Kiki for your replies,

I have been having trouble figuring out how to get my pictures online but still mean to do this soon. This is a great forum for the exchange of accurate information & not just positive information put out there by the beauty industry. Kiki, I'm sorry to hear that you had a similar outcome on your face. When did this happen to you? How is the damage evolving? Has it gotten any better over time?

My issue right now is with hypopigmentation, but from other posts it seems that a lot of people who were laser damaged on more exposed areas, like the face, are dealing more with hperpigmentation. Is that the case for you?

Anyway I agree, IPL burn can be really devastating. I hope you are seeing a positive evolution over time & are feeling more positive about this terrible experience as well.

Thanks again,
Barcelona
