Edit Can IPL or laser treatment make toasted skin syndrome worse?
Please add the new faq details.
Proceeding with light-based or laser treatments before the underlying heat exposure has been addressed is unlikely to produce lasting benefit and may, in some cases, cause additional skin stress. These treatments are most appropriately used after the heat source has been removed and the skin has had time to stabilise. A qualified practitioner should take a full history before recommending any energy-based treatment for residual pigmentation, and will typically advise against treatment on actively affected or recently exposed skin. Suitability varies depending on skin tone, the depth of pigmentation, and the overall condition of the skin.
