After Laser - Brown Spot Removal. Still Pink 11 Weeks Later.

brownspotaway
11 weeks ago I went to a clinic to remove brown spots on my body some on my back, left waist and above my stomach, they first used a fractional laser then 4 weeks later (7 weeks ago) they used a pulsed dye laser (green light) to get the remains of the brown spots. Now 11 weeks later I still got pink (few a bit red in) skin where the laser hit. How long may this last? Is it possible for it to remain permanent (pink)? what can i do? It's driving me mad, I need an outsider pro's timeline thanks!
