Hi Sofar I have gotten 4 IPL treatments on my face and I do see lightening of my hyperpigmentation already. I would be interested to know if I could combine IPL with chemical peels. My esthetician recommended an AHA Vitamin C peel or TCA peel Would it be ok to get a chemical peel done after IPL? If yes how many days apart should I get them done? I am interested more in TCA peel and at what strength should I start.my skin usually tolerates acids very well. I have South Asian skin Thanx
I am 45, very pale and little to no sun spots. I have had 2 rounds of IPL for broken capillaries. Right after my last session I started taking 1000mg of vitamin c supplement and 2500mg of collagen, will this help the IPL work better or is the vitamin c supplement not a good idea? Also, it is ok to take a Vitamin C supplement before IPL since it is internal and not topically applied?
I received IPL treatment 1 week ago and was encouraged to use a Vitamin C serum following my treatment. The serum seemed to cause contact dermatitis all over my face. Redness + clusters of small, itchy whiteheads - particularly on my chin and cheeks. After calling the plastic surgeons office they told me to use Hydrocortisone. The reaction went down within 24 hours however, I am now concerned if damage was done by this inflammatory response, to my freshly photofacial'd skin. Could this be?
About 5 years ago I did some laser treatments on my skin, IPL and Genesis. All went well until I went to Mexico and came back with melasma above my upper lip. I have been using retinol and Vivier Vitamin C serum and a skin brightner from SkinTX since then, no hydroquinone. My esthetician is recommending that I do IPL again but only on my sun spots. Is this a good idea since I have melasma issues? Sun spots are mostly on my cheeks. Thank you!
I just started (3rd session) GSH 600mg + vit c 10g + thiotic acid 25g through iv drip once a week to detox and whiten skim. Also human placenta via IM 3days per injection. I'm Asian in mid 40s. I also had juverderm volume ( I think?) On cheeks done more then 6mths ago. I have bad oily skin but rarely breaks out with mild scarring signed up an IPL package. Will IPL affect the glutathione iv and filler. Also I notice I can't seem to sleep the moment I started the gsh+vitc+thiotic acid. Why so
