Is Bruising Normal After IPL?

deb23
I have fair skin and use IPL to treat rosacea. It's been three years since last IPL and just had it done on Friday (they have a new technician at my Derm's office). This time I have brusing spots on both cheeks (dark red / purple) Never had this before and it worries me.... Will this go away? How long? How to help it heal faster? Thanks for any help!
