Swelling and Redness After IPL?
Had IPL two days ago on my face. Left side, I have a red area and the size of a dime it is very red and looks like it could scab. The left side is swollen. I have been putting ice every hour for 15 min. Is this normal and could the dark area scar?

Gentle Waves and Biafine
Without a photograph it is difficult to see how much damage was done.
My suggestion would be to return to the deermatologist or plastic surgeon ( or their office) who performed the procedure. They can utilize a couple of Gentle Waves treatments which will help the healing.
In addtion, I would recommend Biafine which was originally developed in France for radiation burns.
Finally, Heliocare which is derived from a fern, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Zinc might help healing.
