jonofly12
Ipl fourth treatment for acne , very red afterwards and the next day I have deep purple bruising/marks on my forehead that are similar to a knee scrape injury. I'm applying just aloe vera at the moment. Is this sufficient? Also wondering how long it will take to go down and clear and if there will be any long term damage visually and non-visually (nerve damage?)
