I had a BBL treatment in combination with a micro laser peel 7 days ago. However, I now have more pigment than before treatment, and my skin is splotchy on my forehead. I can also see some white lines on my cheeks. The pigmented areas do not seem to be sloughing off, and the skin is smooth and healed. Is it possible this had made my skin worse? My skin heals very quickly, but have you seen the brown spots continue to slough-off after the skin seems healed?
