Will microneedling help this IPL burn scar? (Photo)

A combination approach will give the most improvement. This can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Unfortunately NO it will not help. Skin lighteners, SPF and time are the only things to help post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Although some Jessners peels after bleaching creams for 4-6 weeks may also be an option.

The hyperpigmentation you have would better be treated with skin lighteners initially.  After treating the skin and avoiding sun exposure you could also consider laser treatment to lighten it.  Be sure to schedule a consultation appointment with an experience provider as lasers can worsen the situation as well.  Best of luck!
