IPL Increase Risks of Pre-cancer Spots?
Can IPL photofacial increase chances of pre-cancer spots? I had two removed previously on face and want to know if this process could irritate a different one that might be dormant?

IPL and skin cancer
It is not likely that the IPL will cause an increased risk of cancer. However, it is a new modality and as such, the long term consequences of this therapy remain unknown.

IPL and premalignant skin lesions
I am not persoanally aware that the use of IPL has any association with increased risks of skin cancer. If anything, I would think the risk might be a little bit less.
