Asked By:lmocmua in Laguna Canyon, CA

IPL for olive toned skin will make it worse & it did on me.Peels, ok which one? Vi, melange, cosmelan, tca? (obagi creams are harsh/expensive)Maintence?custom hydrquinone/Kojic/azeliac/ retin a/arbutin mix or inhibitors? I use sunscreen daily& tinted my car.Orignially from hormone meds & mostly under eyes/cheeks.The laser also caused capillaries under eyes & nose.What can help that too?I tried a YAG/Ktp laser 3yrs ago & face swelled like a balloon,it hurt & didn't work/plus trauma created more.
