Can hypopigmentation from being burned during an IPL treatment be permanent? (Photos)

fayvarj
My forehead was burned during IPL tratment 3 weeks ago. The hypopigmentation is not getting better. How long does it take to recover? Does it recover at all? Does it stay forever? I am so deprssed. I cry everyday. It is all over my forehead!
