Striping on my face 10 days after IPL. Does this fade? (Photo)

September 17, 2018
Asked By:ashbig in Apple Valley, CA

Photos tell the story. My skin was much much more even prior to IPL treatment. Makeup does not fully even my skin tones. Lots of questions... Was this bad technique? Should I find a new dermatologist? Do the stripes eventually fade together? If so, how long should I expect? I’ll be avoiding the sun. Is there anything else I can proactively do? I appreciate any help.
