I'm considering IPL for treatment of my hyper pigmentation from cumulative sun damage on my face. But I have many small 1-2mm moles on my face as well. A couple are raised. Will my moles fade or change color? any risk for hypo pigmentation of these moles? Maybe they will fade too - that would be great.
