24 Hours After
You can expect to experience some degree of skin redness in the first 24 hours after your IPL photofacial. In fact, this is the most commonly reported effect that people notice after their treatment.
Your skin may feel somewhat tender and raw. You may even notice some skin blisters. The important thing to keep in mind is that you should not pick or scratch the treated skin, even if it begins peeling. You want your skin to remain as undisturbed as possible to prevent complications like scars.
One Week After
Within one week after your IPL photofacial in Salt Lake City, you should begin noticing that the treated area is healing fairly rapidly. It is normal to notice some skin peeling, crusting and scabbing. Continue allowing your body to heal naturally without picking or peeling skin away from vulnerable, freshly forming skin underneath.
One Month Later
Since an IPL photofacial does not involve incisions or surgery, you should be mostly healed by this time. Continue to avoid prolonged sun exposure for now. You should also be applying a good sunscreen each day to protect your rapidly healing skin.
