I am going on two weeks post treatment and this is what I look like. I am incredibly itchy in the areas that the blisters have broke and there is white spots that have formed in some blistered areas. I have been cleaning with water and white vinegar and just cleaned today with hibaclens. I have been applying Manuka Honey constantly and triple antibiotic ointment everyday since the day of! Please let me know if I am going to have bad scaring or what else I should do that I am not doing already.
I got IPL mostly to try to help with flushing. I also had some mild diffuse redness, which you can't really see very well in the before picture, but it was mostly in my cheeks. I'm 2 weeks post from my first IPL now, and it hasn't been a great experience. I swelled a lot, and felt very sunburnt around my eyes for several days after. In addition, 4 days after IPL, I started getting red itchy bumps all over my cheeks that haven't gone away. And my cheeks are now more red than before I had the IPL.
I had IPL 2 weeks ago on my chest for hyperpigmentation. Directly after the treatment I had erythema and blisters. Now, 2 weeks later I have white spots. Is this hypopigmentation? My doctor gave me some cortisone cream today and told me to avoid the sun and use sunscreen. He also said, that we should treat the darker parts of my chest with ipl to lighten them up and get an even Skin tone. Is this a good idea? Will These spots go away? Is there anything else I can do? Thank you very much!
I started an ipl+rf home treatment on my face (sideburns and chin) 2 weeks ago. I am 33, I have light skin and some coarse dark hairs on these areas. I have been plucking them for 10 yrs. I hped this was a solution, but I read that it was possible for new follicles to be activated by ipl? This means that the problem could worsen? I did notice a lot of growth in tha last 2 weeks although it might be the usual amount of previously plucked hairs. Please help!
I had my first IPL treatment around 2 weeks ago. I have rosacea with pink/red base redness on cheeks and nose with broken capillaries on/around nose making the sides of my nose look bruised. I flush now and again but not too much. Over the last week I have flushed a bit more than usual. When will I see a difference with IPL? i would especially like the capillaries and some of the base redness to go. This is really getting me down thinking it won't work.
