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!

Answer: Hypo pigmentation After IPL I am so sorry you are going through this. It is very important that if you have not done so, you contact the treating office. You probably also want to get other consultations from very experienced IPL/laser physicians. There is no way to say what your final result will be - everyone heals differently, but at least some blending in will need to be performed with IPL of any sun damage between the hypopigmented areas, very careful sun avoidance, fractional laser (Latisse can even be added to the hypo pigmented areas to regenerate pigment stem cells), and possibly micro needling with prp.
