I had nd yap ipl for sunspots I took a lot of precautions for the sun. I had sun block every 2 hours. after one week I went to the mountain, there was snow I was wearing sunblock as well every. 2 hours and clothing and hat. That day I felt like my skin was sunburned, and 2 days after I noticed a area that was red and was turning darker with the days. Like a new sunspot. Will this be damage for life? Can another IPl treatment help? Also will this give me a higher Risk of cancer? I am concerned.
