Is an IPL facial safe for a person with vitiligo on their face?

I would not recommend getting an IPL facial if you do have a history of vitiligo.  You may be susceptible to new areas of discoloration or further discoloration of your current areas.  Please consult with a certified dermatologist before doing any laser/light device treatments. Best,

Thank you for your question.  IPL treatment treats red vessels, hyperpigmentation and it improves the texture of your skin by producing collagen and elastin.  Laser hair removal is best performed with a diode, yag, and alexandrite laser.  Always consult with a physician to make sure you are a good candidate. 

Would recommend against a patient being treated with an IPL photofacial with a history of vitiligo.
