Brown marks after Limelight laser on face?

October 4, 2017
Asked By:shailabrown in New London, CT

I had Limelight laser done two months ago. It has given me more brown patches on the face that I never had. But worst if all I am left with a 1 inch long rectangular patch on one cheek. This is wher the Dr used a high setting and I had to ask her to stop. What will help fade the brown mark? I have olive skin. She gave me kojic acid cream but this made the area red so I stopped using it. Advice greatly appreciated as I am very worried.
