I personally prefer to see any patient who is experiencing an unusual reaction personally. If there is swelling oral Bromelain,pineapple enzyme, two capsules three times a day can be very useful in decreasing swelling within one to two days.
The package insert on accutane clearly states that no cosmetic procedure should done for 6 months after competing course of accutane. Healing is abnormal .
IPL related energy does not penetrate into the subcutaneous or deeper structures in the neck such as arteries, veins, thyroid or parathyroid glands or submental, sublingual or parotid glands.Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member
