IPL Burns on Legs, 6months and Still Have PIH. What Do You Suggest? (photo)

S.K
I got IPL hair removal on my legs, but my whole thigh was severly burnt. Its been 6 months now and i have brown marks all over my thigh. What do you reccommend? I have tried LED and also cutera genesis treatments but they have not helped. The place where i got it done are now suggesting i try IPL again to treat the hyperpigmentation. I am just scared as i dnt want the brown marks to get worse. I am of indian origin of olive complexion. Im desperate for some expert opinions as Im getting married.
