2 Ipls Have Had No Effect on Lentigos at Derm Office. One of the Other Doctors Has Suggested Yag.what Do You Think? I am now 5 weeks after ipl treatment on hands arms and face to try and fade or erase lentigos as diagnosed by derm. I am skin type II, and i see no change in my spots. Doctor used Lynton ipl and another doc says he will try yag. I would be grateful for your comments thanks Ally

A: NdYag and Ruby laser treat Lentigines While we have several IPL's in our offices our Dermatologic and laser surgeons prefer the NDYAG (found in our West Islip office) or the Ruby laser to treat these benign non dangerous lesions. When utilizing the IPL it requires more visits and may be more likely to have an adverse side effect . Usually with the lasers only one or two treatments are required to remove the lentigo.

IPL After Rhinoplasty? I had a Rhinoplasty with silicone nasal implant 2 years ago. After the surgery, I have stopped all facial treatments, as I'm afraid the beautician might squeeze my nose. Would there be a problem if I start going for facial treatments? Can I do IPL facial treatment? Would the IPL have any impact on the implant? Thank you.

A: IPL is fine after Rhinoplasty

Most skin treatments should be fine as long as you avoid any aggressive manipulations that can injure or displace your grafts. However, IPL is worth little more than a routine Chemical peel but at 3 times the cost. Stick to daily skin care and monthly chemical peels and you will do just as well.

Fraxel Vs IPL for Fine Lines Around the Eyes? Is IPL or Fraxel laser better for reducing fine lines and eye wrinkles?

A: For fine lines around eyes (crow's feet), multiple Fraxel treatments are better than IPL

Crow's feet lines can be significantly improved with Botox since these are movement related wrinkles.

IPL is used primarily for pigmentation (brown lentigenes) and telangiectasia and redness. IPL will not improve wrinkles.

Fraxel may help with infraorbital crepiness (mild lines and skin laxity inferior to the lower eyelid), however, multiple treatments are necessary.

“Would NOT Recomment IPL for Freckles...”

Went to dermatologist for consult about having some freckles & sun spots removed. After a quick look at my face, the doctor said he could remove everything with 1 session of IPL for $600. I'd become increasingly self-conscious of minor blemishes and dark spots left behind by sun damage and acne. I said I wanted to do it. The doctor told the nurse to prep me right away. I stopped him... more

“IPL Amazing!”

I wanted IPL to get rid of acne scars as well as freckles and age spots. I also had many broken capilaries around and inside the tip of my nose. I underwent the IPL procedure 2 years ago at the age of 36. At that time the cost was $250 per treatment, or 3 for $600. I did 3, 4 weeks apart. There was mild pain, but no worse than getting a lip wax. The mild redness that followed was only... more
