How Soon After Facelift or Mini Facelift is It Safe to Have an IPL Photofacial for Rosacea? Thanks!

It is likely safe to proceed. Many surgeons will do this at the same time as the surgical procedure.

1-2 weeks following surgery is a perfectly acceptable amount of time to wait before having a photofacial. Good luck!

A week to 2 weeks post facelift is absolutely acceptable.

Hope this helps.

  It would be adviseable to wait up to 1 month before having an IPL after a traditional Face Lift or Minimal Incision Face Lift.  The less tissue dissection versions, 2 weeks and 4 weeks for the more aggressive Face Lifts.  

It was not necessary to wait 2 months after your mini-facelift to have an IPL Photofacial, so you can have the treatment whenever convenient.  

should be no problem at all. as you have already heard we will routinely laser or deep peels at the same time as the lift.

We will treat rosacea even at the same time as a facelift using the vascular laser.

You will have no problem with the ipl which is even less invasive.
