Asked By:Tica340 in Dallas, TX

Hello! I am a girl of 30 years, Caucasian origin. I have sunspots on the skin, and a month ago the doctor made me a peel with phenol with bad results: the sunspots are more noticeable and I developed post inflammatory inflammation in the area of the lower lip after peeling. Now that area is brown. The doctor wants to do IPL treatment, but I am afraid to develop new spots. What can i do to make disappear everything? IPL works?
