IPL Burns - Matachewan, ON

Thanks for your comment. It has been over a year now and only I can see the hyperpigment; however, I am still on hdyroquinone and retin A. I cannot get any sun or I get brown marks and teh track marks become visible. In fact I have a little now beacause I went to Jamaica and even though I wore sun hats, sun block and sat in the shade, I still managed to get sun. LOL. I never did get any money back and they were very adamant that what happened was expected and totally "normal" oh, well -I;m moving on and happy it wasnt worse!:)

I really can't give you advise, I'm in the same boat! . It's been 8 months and I still have a bit of brown track marks on side of my face but NO ONE else sees it but me LOL. My doctor wants me to finish the sessions in November and says the same thing as your esthetician,(need to go back to remove the pigment) BUT, I did see a dermatologist in Toronto and he told me to stay waway from laser, to take the loss of $, and he can't be sure if the pigment is casued by trauma to my skin from the laser or if it was brought out by the laser! I'm thankful my face cleared up and I'm pretty sure, I'm just gonna take the loss.

not sure if you got my answer already but yes i did have discoloration. pink and white. some turned a brighter skin color but some turned brownish. I feel better now, a few stripes on forehead...i'll post pics..do u have any pics?

my skin is looking better each week. They cooled me down with cool pack and cold air for 30 min and I was shivering si much , she put a blanket on me but my face was still burning! I had done the 2 lasers that day but I couldn't finish the 3rd (matrix).

Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know how it goes!
