IPL for redness after Accutane?
I was on Accutane 2 years ago. I know that a common side effect of Accutane is flushing and redness, but it's supposed to go away after the treatment. It has been two years post Accutane and I have permanent redness in my cheeks, and I still flush, although rarely. I am having IPL lasers, had two treatments already with a little difference. How many more would I need? Thank you very much.
