How do I get rid of hypopigmentation after IPL treatment?

Doctor's Answer

Hypopigmentation is a more difficult condition to treat than hyperpigmentation.

You will have to be patient and allow the skin color to return. However, if intense energy settings are used during your IPL treatments, damage to the skin can occur.

During the healing process, hypopigmentation can happen due to the loss of pigment cells in the area.

There is no way for the area to re-pigment if there are no pigment cells in that area to produce the pigments.
