IPL Laser treatment for hyperpigmentation (dark circles/raccoon eyes) after a Rhinoplasty? Middle Eastern decent

amsallaj
Hello, I'm 8 weeks post op and I have hyperpigmentation under my eyes. At my one month post op appointment I discussed this with my doctor and he suggested IPL laser treatment to help speed up the healing process. I understand that this will eventually subside on its own, but could take months. So will the IPL laser treatment really be worth it or am I risking scars or burns since I am of middle eastern decent?
