IPL Trwatments: Intense pulsed light therapy is great for certain uses, like hair removal and plot rejuvenation: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/intense_pulsed_light. However, there are certain contraindications as the article documents. Check to see if any apply to you. It is not uncommon to get some redness in the area right afterwards, but ai would check w/ a dermatologist to see what is going on now.

Redness: Review with a qualified cosmetic doctor. Get assessment of your skin done and see if IPl or laser treatment is a better option for you.
