I am to receive 6 session of IPL for ocular rosacea by an ophthalmologist. I have read that hair loss from the brow can be a side effect of this and I would like to prevent this. I will be given goggles to protect eyes but nothing for brows. Would covering them with some material like cotton be enough to stop the laser affecting that area or do I need something stronger? I have pale skin and dark hair so I am worried that they will be susceptible to hair loss
I had done an IPL on my face to reduce dark spots and the dermatologist did it on top of one of my eyebrows by accident. Will it grow back? how long will it take? I have almost no eyebrow left and it happened two days ago.
I've had 5 Vasculite treatments for rosacea & my eyebrows look thinner than Ive ever seen them. I looked at pics of myself from prior to the treatments + put 2+2 together. Specs for all 5 sessions are as follows: Vasculite 560nm; fluence: 34 J/cm2; pulse width 3ms x2; pulse mode: double; pass thru: 1 on all areas except for cheeks, nose & chin on treatments 1-4, which had 2 pass throughs; 2 all areas treatment 5. Before + after pics below. Thanks for any help/guidance--it's been devastating.
Hi, about 1-1/2 weeks ago, I had IPL laser to target some brown spots on my face. The doctor accidentally zapped my left eyebrow so half is now gone, and the other half is singed. I haven't seen any hair regrowth yet. Is this permanent?
In February, I had a "Vitalize" chemical peel which left some red capillaries. I went back a month later to have an IPL treatment for capillary removal, and ended up with forehead burns, indentations, severe pain, and what I believe to be eyebrow loss.The nurse did the sides of my nose and my nose. I then asked her to do my forehead which was pink. I also had a vein next to my right eyebrow. I asked her if I should cover my eyebrows, as years ago I had hair removal done between my brows, and the nurse had me cover my brows with cotton to prevent hair loss. This time I was told that this was a different laser (I assumed since it targeted veins and not hair) and I didn't need to cover my brows. She did a few pulses and I went home.Everything seemed OK, until about a week later, when I got a splitting headache and my forehead swelled, revealing burn marks and indentations. I have tried everything to get the swelling to go down and it still is a bit swollen today. I was told by a plastic surgeon that it would go down on its own.Today, I still have red marks, burn indentations, and on and off pain. Can you recommend any treatment or product?
I had IPL in March to correct red capillaries left by "Vitalize" chemical peel that I had a month earlier. I asked the nurse if I should cover my eyebrows, as years ago I had hair removal done between my brows, and the nurse had me cover my brows with cotton to prevent hair loss. This time, I was told that this was a different laser (I assumed since it targeted veins and not hair) and I didn't need to cover my brows. She did a few pulses and I went home.Then, about a month ago, my eyebrow hair started to gradually fall out. It has gotten more noticeable and I am very upset. Is it possible for the IPL to have affected my eyebrows since they weren't covered? If so, will the hair stop falling out and grow back? Any assistance you can give is much appreciated. Thank you.
