Hi all. I have light olive skin which is oily and have big pores in my t-zone. Past acne marks have discoloured my skin, and I currently also have hormonal acne which I have an appointment with a dermatologist next month for. After I've addressed the acne I want to start on my skin discoloration. I had a consultation with an aesthetic doctor a couple weeks ago who suggested two sessions of Lumecca IPL. Would you agree? What would you suggest?
