Skin damage from IPL. Is there anything that can help restore my skin?

February 12, 2023
Asked By:LeeKey in Sanger, California

I had IPL treatment on my face for both brown and red spots. The brown spot laser was fine. The red laser has left bad marks on my skin, bright red, slightly puffy discolorations that were not there before. It's been six months and the marks are not any better. I am in despair. Is there anything that will help restore my skin? I can't leave the house without slathering on make-up.
