Why is dead pigment just now coming off 1 month after IPL treatment?

Asked By:dcutchshaw in Dallas, TX

I had a second IPL treatment on my face a month ago and my face looked fine until this past Monday - my face was very dry and irritated - red around cheeks, nose, chin, and mouth. I looked closer in the mirror and noticed parts of my face had dark areas and appeared to be demarcation when in fact these dark areas of skin on my face was dead pigment that had not peeled off as of yet. Would this dead pigment be completely off if I had started exfoliating every day one week after treatment? Thank you.
