How Soon After a Genesis Treatment Followed by an Ipl Can I Begin Using Triluma to Lighten Spots? Thank You in Advance.

Question

I had these two procedures yesterday with moderate peppering on my cheeks. I know it will time to heal, and flake, but can i use the triluma to lighten the spots?

Hi Tee.  If you have any flaking or light scabbing at the site sun or age spots, we would probably suggest waiting until the flaking stops.  For our patients this is typically about 5-7 days.  So 1 day would normally be too soon for our practice.

	If we are treating sun damage, we typically stick to lasers (q-switched) and if we are treating Melasma we typically use Hydroquinone.  Those two programs seem to be combined in your situation, so we are curious about the condition being treated, sun damage or Melasma.

	For before and after pictures of laser sun spot removal, you can check the link below.  Good luck.

You wan to wait until all of the flaking subsides before using TriLuma. This will take at least a week. Possibly two. Hope this helps.
