Wait 4-6 weeks from Fraxel treatment befor having an IPL

It takes approximately 4-6 weeks for new skin cells in the basal layer to migrate to the surface following inflammation.  Follow up post fraxel is paramount prior to having other laser treatments.

IPL after Fraxel

Fraxel may cause some redness after the procedure and you should be completely healed before IPL. I would like about three months, but there are individual differences. Important to check with your doctor.
