I had an IPL treatment for broken capillaries yesterday afternoon and woke up this morning with uncomfortable swelling. It isn't in pain, just very puffy. Is it safe to take an Ibuprofen at this point? Or does that risk bruising or lessen the treatment success? I'm a little freaked out by the swelling after my 2nd IPL. It has been 24 hours, is it safe to take ibuprofen? Will my face go back to normal?
