I am going on two weeks post treatment and this is what I look like. I am incredibly itchy in the areas that the blisters have broke and there is white spots that have formed in some blistered areas. I have been cleaning with water and white vinegar and just cleaned today with hibaclens. I have been applying Manuka Honey constantly and triple antibiotic ointment everyday since the day of! Please let me know if I am going to have bad scaring or what else I should do that I am not doing already.

Answer: See a Cosmetic Dermatologist for after care--burn after IPL
We recommend discontinuing retinol prior to IPL or laser procedure. We stop one week prior to the scheduled date. Retinol can thin the skin. It may be uneven in certain areas and makes it difficult to determine the energy and pulse width for the IPL.
Thank you for your question. IPL is not a pleasant procedure if you are not numb. everyones sensitivity to pain is different. follow up with your provider.
