Swelling and Blisters After IPL

balieyinfl
I had an IPL proceedure done this afternoon. By the time I arrived home, I was very swollen and have large blisters appearing all over. They then break and ooze and I am keeping Neosporin on my face, and wiping it with a papertowel every few minutes. I feel like a chipmunk with blisters. I called the dermatologist but it was after business hours. Is there anything I can do to be more comfortable? Should I be nervous about these symptoms?
