Following your IPL photofacial, it is best to keep the treated area moist and hydrated after your procedure. There might be some slight discomfort a few days after your procedure. Ice packs can be useful to relieve any swelling that might occur. Aloe can also be useful for this. You’ll want to avoid sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and limit any way you can damage the treatment area. The team at Dermatology, Laser & Surgery of Carnegie Hill will give you more instructions during your in-office procedure.
