How Long Does It Take for Color to Come Back After IPL? (photo)

Clb0542
I had an IPL done on my arms 11 days ago, and when the dark areas came off I was left with pink/white skin that is much lighter than my original coloring. How long will this take to heal? Are there any other treatment options? I have had my face, back and chest done multiple times before with success.
