IPL and Rosacea: Another study looked at the effects of ipl treatment on the persistent redness, flushing, and breakouts associated with rosacea. In this study, 32 patients received between one and seven ipl treatments. Following treatment, 83% experienced reduced redness, 75% said they had less flushing and improved skin texture, and 64% reported fewer acne-like breakouts.

IPL: Ipl is great for pigmentary spots, but your condition sounds like rosacea. This is a chronic skin condition that makes your face turn red and may cause swelling and skin sores that look like acne. I would recommend consultation with a face specialist.
