5 hours after my cheeks were very swollen. I have sensitive skin and tend to swell, but also had very severe indentations. Started at least 2x as deep as in this photo, taken 24 hrs after they appeared. There were 2 more horizontal and 1 vertical line. 1 side of my face was worse. Had numbing cream. Followed protocol in what not to do/use before. Procedure was also very painful, even with numbing cream. Pain tolerant. No issues with botox/fillers and pain. Done in office of a very reputable dr.
I am 51. I had an IPL two days ago. Some parts of my face are still swollen especially under my eyes. (The brochure said swelling for a few hours or a day, or more. But the technician did not prepare me for any swelling.) Is this normal? Will it go away? It seems like the skin under my eyes will have more wrinkles due to the puffiness. Did I create a bigger problem?
I got a ipl photofacial about a month ago and the day i went i was left with burning swollen spots she told me it would be normal the next day i wokeup with burns she also said it was normal due to my face probably tanned prior. I left it alone until it healed properly and i was left with pink baby like skin but only on those spots. A month later my face is 3 different colors and it really bugs me because its very noticable. I cant get anything to make it go away or even cover it. Help!
I am 38 years old Asian. I got IPL on 12/8/16. After the treatment, I had scabs all over my face, and my face even got swollen. From day 4, scabs flaked off, and I got a beautiful skin for a week. However, my pigments got back after 2 weeks from the treatment, and they seemed to become even darker. I even see pigments that I did not see before the treatment. After 4w, I started having red breakouts on my cheek. I usually have clear skin and barely had this awful skin. Is this the side-effect?
Can thyroid disorders create more reactive skin with IPL? Also, if patient has facial hair can that create more swelling? What is advised? My face is so swollen it hurts and feels like a sinus infection.
