I had IPL for red veins - swollen and purple 2 days after? (Photo)

Question

My cheeks are swollen and deep purple colour after ipl 2 days ago. Swelling got better but now one side is more swollen and warm. Is this normal?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with a Doctor for a formal evaluation and after care. I recommend silicone gel with growth factors, light therapy and skin care to give improvement. Laser results can take several weeks to settle and sometimes take a series of treatments to get improvement. I usually recommend a combination of treatments with IPL for best results. I suggest adding microneedling/prp to improve skin quality and tone once healed. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
