I am 49 years old and have rosacea. I had a series of about 6 aggressive IPL sessions with a plastic surgeon who I trust(ed). Now, 4 months post IPL, and my skin texture and appearance has never looked worse. Pores are enlarged, pores have connected into lines, skin is puckered. Imperfections that existed before the IPLs have now been etched deeply into my epidermis. I am terrified/getting panic attacks. The doc tell me there is no way this could happen. Please tell me what will fix it.
