I had IPL 1 week ago on my chest for hyperpigmentation. Should I be worried now about post treatment hypopigmention? Directly after the treatment I had erythema and blisters. I was told to ice and treat the area like a burn. I week later the area treated still has railroad track like lesions.

Answer: IPL - Hypopigmentation In the industry, an IPL treatment can have this type of outcome on the chest area when treating on skin that has not been properly conditioned. Skincare products are always used on the face and not brought down to treat the neck and chest. Also the chest skin is thinner than the skin on the face and special attention is necessary when treating IPL on the chest. However, by using IPL to correct the hypopigmentation by blending and treating the surrounding Hyperpigmentation. Also microdermabrasion and chemical exfoliation with hydroquinnone can help make the branding less apparent.

Answer: Sciton Laser for Treatment of Uneven skin Discolorations IPL ( intense Pulse-Light) treatments can give varying results from treatment to treatment depending on how much pigmentation correction is needed. We refer to the blotches you refer to immediately after treatment as "coffee grounds" effects. These are most likely sun-damaged layers in the epidermis that will slough off within the first 1-2 weeks. Deeper pigmentation will continue to resolve over time and with successive treatments.l We find that the Sciton laser is exceptionally effective at treating with Broad Band Light (BBL) for most skin types for sun-damaged and uneven skin color.#BBLlasertreatments #IPLtreatments #pigmentationtreatments
