Thank you for your question soni232. I understand your concern.
IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. Keratosis pilaris is best treated with exfoliants such as lactic acid. IPL can help with pigmentation in areas off the face. For those with darker skin types more conservative settings must be used and more treatments performed to minimize the risk for PIH. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
