Is It Normal to Experience Itchiness and Blisters After IPL?
It's been 2 days since i had IPL but my skin feels ichy all the time, and there are some blisters too. What should i do? During the IPL, I could smell my skin being burned. is that normal? After the IPL, the lady used the steam machine to steam me. After a few minutes, I couldn't take it because it felt like my skin was burning and ask her to stop. She putted some cooling gel on me. Immediately after that, she did the microdermibration. is it alright to have a microdermibration right after IPL?

Blisters After IPL Treatment
You should contact the treating physician immediately to make them aware of the blisters you have so they can provide appropriate wound care and minimize the risk of pigmentary changes once they heal.

Itchiness and Blisters After IPL
This is a lot in a question, so let me answer each one:
1. NO you should not get blisters from a treatment and this is NOT normal. It means the settings used were way too high. Blisters are extremely dangerous and can result in hyperpigmented marks and discoloration in the long run. This part is not good, and you need to contact the treating office to let them know it happened, otherwise they will turn the machine up again next time and you can get worse burns and possible scarring...
