How do I get rid of grid marks on face from laser treatment? (Photo)

Stacy WAOct 3, 2016
I had a Palomar IPL 1 month ago and got burnt grid marks. Now I have dark skin and lighter grid marks. I got a chemical peel a couple of weeks ago. How can I get rid of this? I am using vitamin C in the am and retin-a at night. Will this go away? Should I have another laser treatment? Help!!!
