IPL: Q&A

A PA Performed IPL + Radiofrequency Fotofacial with Syneron's EMAX SRA Head. Now I Have Eye Pain and Fat Atrophy, Options?

Settings were optical fluence of 25 and RF of 25. I was treated right up to eyeball (literally) and now have daily right eye pain that worsens with movement and use. Eye docs do not know about IPL + RF procedures nor what effect it can have on the eyes/nerves/structures and how to help. The RF of 25 goes 5mm depth. Can anyone help me with this? Two derms have told me that the radiofrequency from my treatment went too deep and caused fat atrophy under the right eye. Related? Please help.
