I got an IPL done for my dry eyes which was supposed to help with MGD and inflammed eyelids. The procedure [IPL] took 5 mins and after the doctor squeezed my lower eye lids to open up the glands producing oils. That all went well on the day but I got a lot of head aches or migraines after about 2 days after the treatment. The migraine lasted weeks and it was mainly towards the back of my head.
The interesting thing is that migraine is not listed in the side effects when they get you to sign the consent form. Had I knew about the migraine lasting weeks and possibly months I would NOT do it. Its been about 2 weeks since I had the treatment and I am still getting head aches. The treatment was done by Dr Nicholas YOUNG at dry eye center in Heathmont VIC. AUS.

Sounds like a tension headache from tensing up during your treatment. The IPL itself can’t cause headaches. Do some neck stretches when you get these headaches, it’s likely not the first time live experienced these.
