There may be some bruising as well as hemosiderin deposits in the area. You may consider Plato's Bruise Balm and some Q switch laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

This is normal depending on how strong the treatment, it can last up to 6 weeks. LED therapy, oral or injectable steroids, and sun protection help to limit this.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. IPL treatments target pigment so in turn target hair follicles as well. This should have been explained to you prior to your treatments. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your best treatment options..
