About two weeks after the treatment, you will notice that the scabs have naturally fallen off and the spots in the irradiated areas have become less noticeable. However, after about a month, there are cases of temporary post-treatment hyperpigmentation, and this phenomenon is known as "post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is known as "post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation." The color fades with time and often disappears in about 3 to 6 months, but it may take up to a year in some cases.
