I'm on day 6 after a PDT treatment combined with the IPL laser.My skin peeled yesterday and today but I'm left with the same redness I had on day 2. Will this go away it is not at all subtle.

Answer: Redness after PDT The main thing to consider before you start your treatments is to have a consult with a reputable dermatologist/facial/plastic surgeon. My practice has been considered by Lumenis lasers to be a Lumenis laser center of excellence and I have been a "Lumary" (Lumenis physician teacher) for the last 10 years. Not many physicians have these recognitions. I also help develop and teach my own Rosacea and Melasma protocols for the Lumenis IPL systems to other physicians and technicians.Your treatment looks the way that is supposed to look at this stage. PDT is a powerful and great treatment. Follow the instructions of your physician. Make sure to avoid the sun the next 1-2 weeks.Hope this helps,Dr. Gus Diaz
