Is it safe to have an IPL treatment on the face 2 months after a fat transfer to the face?

Question

Is it safe to get an Ipl to your face after you had a fat grafting/transfer to your face 2 months ago? Will the Ipl melt the fat that was put in if it’s only been 2 months? Ipl settings joule 34

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you can do lasers and IPL at teh same time as fat grafting and you should be doing sculptra and PRP with fat grafting to maintain the results.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. An IPL treatment 2 months after fat grafting is fine, the laser will not penetrate deep enough to impact/displace the fat.

David A. Sieber, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for the great question! It's totally fine to have an IPL after fat grafting. Because the fat is placed so deeply in your face, the heat from the IPL will not have any effect on it. Best,~Dr. Sieber
