After IPL how long does hyperpigmentation last?

Hi, depending on how much sun damage you and if you are on good products, will depend on your skin/cell turn around.  I would give it 7-14 days, and always contact the provider who did the treatment, sometimes a good gentle exfoliant or facial will help the last portion of the process.

Sometimes the dark coffee-ground speckling can take more than a week to start to flake off.  I remind my patients that even though this is a no-downtime procedure, it is not a no-makeup procedure!Stubborn pigment can be treated with a light microdermabrasion after 2 weeks or so, but most should flake off on its own after 14 days.Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is another matter, so if you notice increased pigment and irritated skin, make sure to be evaluated by your doctor.Best Wishes

Hello,

Thank you for your question. It can take up to two weeks to see full results. Sometimes you need to have more than one treatment for complete correction. Good luck!
