Is it normal to have horizontal and/or outlined squares on the face after a 50 micron Micro Laser Peel? They started off bright red immediately after my skin peeled, turned pink days later, and are now beginning to hyperpigment despite the use of hydroquinone. Was this the result of operator error (technique, settings, etc) or simply the way my skin healed? Most of my face is fine, it's just certain areas that have these marks. Should I start looking for a different PS?
