IPL laser burns on my back? (Photo)

July 28, 2024
Asked By:lsountha in Fort Worth, Texas

I received IPL in November of 2023 on my back to treat dark spots from acne and KP. After my treatment, I felt like I was on fire and could not even put my bra back on. It’s been 8 months and the laser burns still exist. It has faded some but still noticeable. I’m avoiding the sun this summer so the laser marks do not get worst. Is there anything I can use or do to completely get the burns to disappear?
