“IPL Complications?”

I wouldn't call your Doctor, I would go straight in to their office.

It's been three weeks for me. I had swelling for several days after having it done. Now, I had bright red marks where the capillaries were (not blisters, so I'm not sure if they're actual burns) that show no sign of fading. I look like I have a disease and before I had smooth skin with a few tiny veins that only I noticed. I have been going back to where I had it done and they insist it's not a burn and that I'll heal. I've made a new appointment with another doctor and, if I were you, I would do the same, just to make sure everything's okay. This is NOT a harmless procedure, as I've learned the hard way.

A Cincinnati doctor burned my chin with red marks and they did fade after a few months. I put nothing but Aquaphor on them, and didn't wash my chin very much, not at all the first 48 hours. I also used skinceuticals spf 30. I waited 6 months to have another bbl done, this time by the place I always have gone to in Kentucky (why did I stray!) with no problems and great results. I think time really does help, along with good sunblock and gentle care. I hope this helps.

Sorry to get back to you so late metoo. It took a few months to fade, but mine weren't capillaries, she just had the settings to high. I am glad to hear you are going to another doc, the capillaries I had under my nose are just pink from all the ipls/bbls (A happy side effect, I go for melasma). Hang in there!
