I am 31 and was burned with second degree blisters by a physician going too aggressive on an IPL laser. My skin is orange peelish with large pores, hyperpigmented In large spots, thinner looking, and premature wrinkles. All the things I was trying to prevent, it seemed to age me 10 years. Is there any creams, treatments, procedures (scary thought to do it again)you would recommend to correct?Ive heard of a girl having to do tattoo makeup to cover her IPL hyperpigmentation. What are my options?
Answer: A combination of chemical peels, resurfacing lasers, and melarase creams can help treat all these issues. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Hyperpigmentation from IPL In most cases, HP from IPL or any other laser will gradually correct itself over time. This is assuming it was not a more severe burn, of course.
