To Awalk, sorry to hear of your misfortune with the laser. You are courageous to share your story with all of us who are seeking answers. I sincerely hope that you find help and answers through the medical community. I guess we weren't really meant to do some of the things we do to ourselves. I have tried IPL and my face is much worse after the experience. I know it is difficult for you. Try to remember that your real beauty is within and the people around you know that..as well as all of us who read your story. Best of luck to you
Hi, I have melasma and tried IPL in the past which seemed to bring the brown tones to the surface even more. I have a Fraxel appt scheduled, however, not too psyched about it since hearing the negative issues associated with the laser. Any suggestions you can offer or pics or info 1 year post procedure may help me decide. My face is 65% covered by melasma. Kojic acid combined with 2% hydroquinone fades the discoloration but only with continuous use. I am also reading that HQ is not safe for long term use.
Thanks, Ya'll
