Can I Have Laser Genesis and IPL Treatments on the Same Day?

Can I Have Laser Genesis and IPL Treatments on the Same Day?

A: Laser Genesis and IPL treatments the same day.

The Cutera system is made to have both treatments done the same day.  As said before, if you are of darker skin tone, then you might want to stagger the treatment to avoid any complications.  Good Luck!

Redness And More Visible Broken Blood Vessels After IPL for Rosacea- Normal?

I had my first IPL treatment for rosacea a few days ago. My face is still red, and the my broken vessel is more visible. Is it normal on the first treatment to see more red before it gets better? I'm scheduled for my next treatment in 5 weeks. Please advise. Thanks.

A: Redness more visable after IPL

I agree, IPL cannot make broken capillaries worse, it will reduce overall redness which might make certain areas more visible.  You can see a slight difference after one treatment (more for hyperpigmentation or sun spots) but with Rosacea and overall redness, results will be more visible after at least 3 consecutive treatments. Good Luck!

1 Day After IPL Photofacial I have Brown Spots Everywhere on My Face, is this a Normal Reaction?

I had an IPL Photofacial done yesterday. Immediately after procedure, my face was very red and felt on fire. After 1.5 hours, redness went down along with the pain but I am left with unbelievable dark spots covering both cheeks and some of my forehead. I do not have any "coffee grinds" that I keep reading about. My face just looks horrifying with these brown spots everywhere. Is this normal? When do the coffee grinds typically show up? Help! I'm scared that I should not have done this!

A: Brown spots after IPL

Sun spots or freckles can darken right after the IPL treatment, which is a great result! If the areas are a rectangle shape (shape of the laser head) then you might have gotten burned.  Absolutely no sun, keep your skin hydrated and protected with SPF.  I would also advise you to take pictures and send them to the clinic you received your treatment or schedule an appointment to see them to be on the safe side.  Good Luck!
