Excess Swelling After Photofacial? (photo)

Asked By:TJB

I had IPL 2 day's ago, right after the treatment I expirienced welting areas. The next morning I woke up my face was swollen. I iced right after treatment and the next day as well as applying hydrocortisone cream. The next morning I am swollen again even worse under the eye's. I didn't know about possible swelling and it has been a big shock to me. I followed the PA's orders to keep my head elevated. etc. How long will this swelling last? How else can I help the swelling besides ice?
