Does IPL Affect Radiesse or Botox Injections?

Thanks for your question. The short answer is no. However, if you are doing IPL or any other laser and wish to do Botox/Restylane/Radiesse/Juvederm, then I would suggest that you split up your treatments and do the IPL/laser separate.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is used for hair removal, and PhotoFacials.
