Hello, I'm hoping that my mind can be put at ease here. I had IPL photo facial one day ago and I have noticed that I have indented lines over my cheeks and on my jawline. My face is also still quite swollen and my skin feels rough and thick. Is this normal or has my skin been damaged by the IPL? Thank you

Thank you for your question. IPL treatment treats red vessels, hyperpigmentation and it improves the texture of your skin by producing collagen and elastin. you will pepper after the treatment and the dark spots will appear darker before they flake off. do not be alarmed. This takes 2-4 days...
Most eczema occurs in skin folds; areas that are not hair bearing. You can have laser hair removal in areas where there is no active eczema if you do have a flare just treat it with topical therapy (you should have medication to keep on hand) and have your IPL treatment after clearing.
