Dermapen hyperpigmentation under the eye, how to return to normal skin color? (Photo)

July 9, 2023
Asked By:Shahacurr

3rd session of Dermapen, never had issues before. I applied AQ skin solution intensive moisturising skin repair mask afterwards as recommended by the aesthetician that did the dermapen. Woke up with swelling esp. around the eye. Few days after the I noticed darkness under the eye. The aesthetician recommended that I apply cosmelan 2 over it to peel. I did and woke up with redness. Stopped it immediately. Now it is worse. Been 3 weeks. I only use bioderma ciccabio twice a day and SPF.
