Photofacial Side Effects

I got my first Photofacial today and it feels like a really bad sunburn, and also I noticed a lot of dark brown small to medium spots all over. Is that normal? I am worried!

A: Brown Spots after IPL

After you have IPL, it is totally normal to have what appears to be additional, darker brown spots on the surface of your skin.  These brown spots will look like "coffee grounds" and will typically shed/flake within 3-7 days of your treatment.  Do not pick these spots!  This is generally the sign of a good, results driven treatment.  The sunburn feeling should go away within several hours-  however you can use cold compresses or hydrocortisone cream to help alleviate the feeling of heat.

After PhotoFacial, Should I Let Face Peel or Use Moisturizer?

I got o photofacial about 8 hours ago. After I washed my face I saw a lot of dryness and peeling. Should I use a moisturizer or should I leave my face alone?

A: Moisturize

After a photofacial, your skin may be dry in spots, especially where brown spots used to be. Use a nice emolliating moisturizer to replensih any lost moisture and to aid in faster exfoliation.

Is It Safe to Alternate Photofacial Treatments and Chemical Peels?

I am considering a photofacial and my doctor wants to alternate photofacial treatments and chemical peels every two weeks. Is this safe?

A: Alternating photofacials and chemical peels works

The combination of photofacials and chemical peels are great and can even be done on the same day. Usually a series of 5 light peels with the photofacials are necessary to make a significant difference. 

Sincerely,
