IPL on my back resulted in "striping". After 2nd treatment, still had areas with stripes. I went to different board certified dermatologist and have had 3 more treatments. This is 2 weeks post treatment. The red spot is from the skin getting rubbed off too early in that area and is healing. Stripes on the left and huge demarcation line on the right. I can't ever catch up to even my skin tone. Better solution? Is a chemical peel better? Does the pigment ever return? Recommendation in Dallas?

IPL/BBL is one way to rejuvenate the skin and produce new collagen. It does not decrease collagen or cause fat loss. I much prefer Thermage for skin tightening as it only requires one treatment and results last two years. Best, Dr. Green
You would need to be seen in person to say for sure, but in the photo I see some acne scarring and not a lot of photodamage. Given that, I would likely recommend starting with a series of microneedling treatments.However, the bigger question is- are you trusting your face to someone you...
Dark flaking areas after treatment is a normal reaction. It is always best to return to treatment provider for the most accurate opinion.
