Does IPL Photofacial cause dermal fillers like radiesse, juvederm, etc to dissolve more quickly?

By AvenueA on 13 Sep 2012

Im in the process of getting IPL treatments for sun spots. If I also get some dermal filler in the same areas treated by the IPL during this time will the IPL hasten the inevitable absorption of the dermal fillers?

Here are some Q&A's you might find interesting:

Will Restylane Be Damaged by IPL or Refirme?

Will IPL Hurt or Damage my Radiesse filler I Had in my Cheeks and Nasolabial Folds?

It will be interesting to hear from community members who have done both, and hear what their experience has been.

Yes, any fillers will be damaged if you then do IPL. The laser destroys the water in the filler so get IPL or any laser treatment BEFORE your filler shots.
