I was burned from IPL laser 3 months ago. I have hypopigmentation now and I don’t know what to do. Everyone I have gone to tells me different things. Some say to wait it out and it’ll repigment in 6 months to a year. Some tell me to do Microneedling and chemical peels or IPL to even out my skin tone. Some tell me to do no treatments on it and then I have heard where slowly and safely exposing it to sun will help it. What should I do?
