I’m 41 w/ fair skin that’s prone to discoloration & broken capillaries. Throughout the years I’ve had about 10 IPL treatments without any issues. Saturday I had a treatment & later that day I developed dark red & purple marks all over my face. For point of reference it’s been about 7 yrs since my last IPL. The marks shown are all a result of the IPL. I had no prior marks in those areas. Should I be concerned about permanent damage? Is there anything I can do to expedite healing?
