I am of a dark complexion and used IPL laser (performed and recommended by the dermatologist) to treat my bacne and hyperpigmentation (. I got burnt using the lowest dosage of the laser and now have severe PIH all over my back. What can i do to make this go away and solve my PIH from bacne??

Answer: Severe PIH from IPL laser treatment for acne scarring. How can I erase it?
In my experience that at home IPL and laser hair removal treatments do not work. Having a darker skin tone you are at greater risk for hyperpigmentation as well as hypopigmentation. It's best to find a trained professional and not risk permanent damage to your skin. Look for the Venus Versa....
Thank you for
your question modessa. I understand your concern. IPL is a great
treatment for facial rejuvenation. This is best evaluated by your doctor. It depends on what the cream and tablet were. Please consult
with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Thanks for your query. No once exposure to laser will not make any difference. It does not cause any permanent damage. It might cause darkening for a while and then it gets back to normal. Hope it helps.All The Best
