Swelling After IPL Treatments?

melasmawoes
I had my IPL treatment done 36 hours ago. Swelling begun after 12 hours and so far has not subside. The swelling is on eyes and all over my face. I took a shower as soon as I got home and put night moisturizer. I am currently taking 50 mg of benadryl tablet and using cold compression. My face is hot to the touch. What should zi do? How long will this last?
