I've used the device in my belly, upper leg and underarms as well, but the worst reaction was on my lower legs. A day after my first treatment, my lower legs got very itchy, and with several bumps in my pores, sometimes with a kind of liquid inside. The second treatment, 2 weeks after the 1st one, it got even worst. My legs are itching way more, I have a lot of bumps, and other parts of my body (where I made the treatment), are getting the same reaction even though is not as severe as my legs.
Nothing is really helping my rosacea, so I'm trying out IPL to see if that can help. 4 days out from my first treatment now. I swelled up in my cheeks some, but that has mostly gone down. I have been red on and off with itchy skin and new red papules. Also felt mildly sunburnt and pretty fried around the eyes after the IPL so i put burnjel on it, which helped a lot. I seem to have even more pustules around my chin than before too. Is this normal, does it get worse before it gets better with IPL?
I recently got an IPL for rosacea and am planning on doing more. I thought that you needed to wait 3-4 weeks between treatments, but the RN who did my IPL said I could do my next one in 1-2 weeks. I had some swelling that still isn't completely gone 4 days after the first treatment. The IPL also seems to have flared my rosacea, and I have a bunch of itchy red bumps on my cheeks that just appeared today. So maybe would be better to wait longer before the second one?
I got IPL mostly to try to help with flushing. I also had some mild diffuse redness, which you can't really see very well in the before picture, but it was mostly in my cheeks. I'm 2 weeks post from my first IPL now, and it hasn't been a great experience. I swelled a lot, and felt very sunburnt around my eyes for several days after. In addition, 4 days after IPL, I started getting red itchy bumps all over my cheeks that haven't gone away. And my cheeks are now more red than before I had the IPL.
It was the 2nd treatment. The first treatment I had no adverse effects. With this treatment I broke out in what looked like bad mosquito bites that were red, hot & super itchy. Took an antihistamine and swelling went down. 6 days later and the red dots that look like shaving rash have not changed at all. Im so extremely concerned that Im stuck with them forever. The technician has said not to worry theyll fade eventually but Im not sure I trusting her.
This has been on my leg for about 4-5 months now. It itches very badly. New spots appear while the old ones start to heal. Itching obviously aggravates it, but even when I dont itch for a week I still see new spots appear. What is it? Are they just ingrown hairs? Also I should mention that I was using an IPL Hair remover around the time it appeared, but never had issues with it before.
I had IPL facial every month, and each time I had cool gel to apply before IPL and face looked normal after treatment. But this time the lady forget to use cool gel before IPL, I felt itching and stingy after treatment and there are red rash in my face. Why is this? Is my skin burned and will it recover?
Hi ive just done my 3rd treatment on my lower legs 2 days ago, and now my whole legs are covered on red itchy bumps, similar to rash. im afraid they will scar and will be there permanently, is there any way this can be improved?
