IPL
There should be no problem combining a filler treatment with intense pulse light laser treatment. If done on the same day, you should have the laser done first and then the filler after.

IPL and Filler at Same time?
Hi RockyTerrain. If we are performing laser and injection treatments on the same day we use the lasers first just as a precaution. With that said, we do not believe that the lasers will cause premature degrading of the product.
On a side note, we use lasers rather than IPL becuase they tend to have more permanent results. The link below has more information about our ideas on why we choose lasers vs. a non-laser device like IPL.

IPL photofacials and fillers/botox
There is no problem combining treatments such as fillers (e.g. juvederm, restylane), and laser and light devices (e.g. IPL). That said, I would probably wait at least 1 week after a filler or botox treatment, before doing an IPL or laser treatment. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

No effect on dermal fillers
IPL works on superficial pigment and will not cause dermal fillers to absorb more quickly. Same goes for deeper heating treatments, like radio frequency and fractionated lasers.
