Water Retention Under Eyes After IPL

Swelling or "water retention" following IPL is not uncommon but should resolve within 3 days. I would suggest you return to the office where you received the treatment for further evaluation. Best of luck!

Thank you, I did call the office and she is baffled that I have a small amount of swelling still. Never seen this happen in the all the years she has done this. Will it eventually go away over time?
