I had PicoSure done on my melasma underneath my eyes and it was awesome. Fast forward a month and a half, I did a second treatment of it. It left my skin darker, redder, and worse. FYI the same person did it both times. I visited another doctor to treat this, and I’m about a week into a treatment of hydroquoine 8%.
