White Marks on Chest After IPL

  • Created: July 17, 2024

I did one session of IPL on my chest at approximately the beginning of June. It's all healed except that most of the spots are now extremely fair-toned. I'm a pretty tan girl and went from dark hyperpigmentation spots from old acne to light spots which are much more noticeable. How long until this goes away? Should I be doing anything to help it along? My esthetician said it was normal, and I want to trust her, but she also told me when I got it done, it would be healed in 10-14 days. It's been 5-6 weeks.

PS Ignore the dark spots - I planned to get those lasered off too once this round healed but now I'm unsure. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
