I got an Ipl treatment for rosacea done on Wednesday, this is my second. I have been really swollen ever since...My cheeks are really big...I am icing every two hours and nothing has changed...I am starting to panic that the inflammation will never go away
Answer: Swelling after IPL Thank you for your question BigSam. I understand your concern. IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. It also works well for rosacea. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs. However swelling is normal after a treatment. I recommend that my patients apply cold compresses and sleep on an extra pillow if possible to reduce swelling. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
