I had an IPL treatment on a small patch of capillaries on the upper right side of my cheek right under my eye but on the cheekbone. It's been four days the swelling has gone down but I noticed one of the small veins is actually bigger now and purple in color. Will this shrink or did the IPL deepen the capillary?
