Welts after IPL. What can this be?

marilynrec
I had a Limelight photo facial. Initially, I had white and red stripes on my cheeks which subsided after cold compresses. There are also welts I can see and feel. What can this be? Can any professional tell me if permanent skin damage can be done by IPL. Thank you.
