Wondering if anybody has suggestions. I had an IPL session on my face two weeks ago. A few days after I started getting little bumps all over my face and some acne spots. This is my 4th treatment and have had no issues before other than the dark spots getting darker. I only exfoliated a week after and now my skin is horribly broken out in bumps and redness and pimples. The treatment office hasnt seen a reaction like this. I did fly a transatlantic flight the next day and not sure if that made a difference with dryness etc. what can I use to calm this down?!
Fair skin, left with prolonged erythema in about 8 spots due to fairly recent breakout. Acne now under control. In the past, it took about 12 months for these to resolve without treatment. Topicals do not work. What device would be best to clear the red marks faster-IPL or PDL? Would either device be more cost effective? Thank you!
Hello, I've been having this problem since my late teens. I wax it every now and then, but waxing causes me to break out. I was told this area is problematic for laser/IPL back when I was 23 because it might cause the hair to grow darker and thicker. I want to get rid of it. What options do I have? Thank you.
the doctor that performed the treatment gave me a exfoliating kit to move the process along but I am attending an event and need this cleared up quickly. can I get an IPL 9 days after fractional treatment. IPLs usually knocks out any breakout or is it too soon after this fractional laser treatment
I am 38 years old Asian. I got IPL on 12/8/16. After the treatment, I had scabs all over my face, and my face even got swollen. From day 4, scabs flaked off, and I got a beautiful skin for a week. However, my pigments got back after 2 weeks from the treatment, and they seemed to become even darker. I even see pigments that I did not see before the treatment. After 4w, I started having red breakouts on my cheek. I usually have clear skin and barely had this awful skin. Is this the side-effect?
After my third IPL treatment, parts of my face have itchy red bumps all over them, they look like acne. I had this happen after the second treatment, but not as severely and I thought it was due to a new cream they used on me after the treatment. It looks horrible and itches like crazy. What is causing this and what is the best thing to do for it, last time it took about 10 days to clear up and this time it is much worse. If it helps, the areas that have hair on them are the worst.
