Answer: Post IPL Reaction Not Atypical and Recommendations for Rosacea It is not usual to experience dryness and an eruption of pimples for treating rosacea with intense pulse light. Some clients will see peeling for the first few days post treatment. In 5-7 days, you should expect for the redness and dryness to improve. The dilated capillaries will begin to shrink with each treatment. Use of a gentle exfoliant would help reduce the dryness. The addition of an oil free moisturizer will moisten your skin. Talk to your physician about metronidazole 1%, ivermetin 1% and potassium azeloyl diglycinate as a triple gel combination for a rosasea regimen.
