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

Question

I had a "mini" facelift a little over two months ago and am wondering if it is safe to now have an IPL Photofacial or a chemical peel.

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

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

Todd C. Miller, MD · Answer

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

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

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.

Richard W. Fleming, MD (retired) · Answer

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.

Sherwood Baxt, MD (retired) · Answer

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.

Nathan Mayl, MD (retired) · Answer

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.
