IPL Photofacial Brown Spots. Will They Flake Off?

tlee7911
Is there a chance these brown spots that are all showing up after IPL photofacial might not flake off? I am 3 days out and they look like coffee grinds but just a little anxious that they might stay. :) They are not scabbing up or feel raised as others have stated. Face feels smooth.
