Had an ipl and laser Genesis treatment two days ago and now I have bumps ALL over my face!!
I have had ipl two times in the past and it's been excellent for clearing dark pigmentation. Upon the suggestion of the med spa about how terrific Genesis is: no downtime, clears skin and fine lines! I decided to try it once.
I numbed before hand and did Genesis first. It was hot on my face and there were moments where it seemed to be burning me, but I figured that was the price I would pay. Next, she did the ipl. She applied sunscreen to everywhere on my face right after except my forehead because I was getting xeomin after.
Last night at dinner, all of a sudden my entire face broke out into what looks like hives or bumps. The only place they aren't showing up is my forehead so I'm thinking its a bad reaction combo of laser and sunscreen? Either way, I'm reading these reviews and if this doesn't go away I'm going to freak out.
The bumps are still very present today...

I just had this done yesterday and my face is filled with bumps it looks like hives all over my face. They never told me this was a side effect and i had to call out of work today. How long did it take for the bumps to go down?

this happened to me and resulted in orange peel texture, its been three years of retinol creams peels and lasers to repair, but its been awful. I too thought it would resolve, and did the package of three. Its NOT GOOD! did yours heal?
