I had my first IPl treatment yesterday for multiple hyperpigmented sunspots on my face. I did my research and selected an experienced dermatologist office. The results were as expected right after the procedure (mild pain during procedure, burning sensation for a few hours, and then darkening of the hyperpigmented areas with the coffee grind look). However- I also have a dark brown grid-like appearance on my forehead? Will this resolve? When and how can I speed this along?

Home IPL's are not super powerful and IPL light is not coherent, so it is less likely to damage the eye than a powerful laser. None the less, check with a good eye doctor and follow his/her recommendations.
With IPL hair reduction multiple sessions are needed as the laser effects hair that are in different growth cycles differently. Hopefully, your provider explained that you would need multiple treatments. Be patient and get more sessions. Good luck!
