Today I was outside (Spring finally arrived) and didn't realize until I came in that my face got some sun despite wearing sunscreen. Should I postpone the IPL session?

Often times brown pigment becomes more pronounced and red pigment can become darker after your IPL treatment. This usually resolved within 1-2 weeks. In the interim, make sure you are not rubbing, scrubbing or exfoliating the area harshly.
IPL treatment for your keloids will not help at all. IPL or intense pulse light treatment is useful to treat pigmented and vascular skin abnormalities mostly on the face chest and upper extremities .
