Laser Damage from IPL Treatment. Can I do anything to reverse this? (Photo)

July 14, 2021
Asked By:akame92 in San Francisco, California

I got 5 IPL treatments over the last 6 months to treat my rosacea and have noticed a rash-like appearance on both sides of my face since starting the treatment. It started as a faint small red mark after the 1st session and I wrote it off as nothing too serious. It eventually kept growing and increasing in size with each session and my derm kept telling me that it was my rosacea acting up and that eventually, the IPL would fix it. Is there anything I can do to help reverse the laser damage?
