Is it okay to have an IPL facial treatment immediately after completing a 4 week course of Prednisone for inflammation, or should a person wait awhile?
Answer: IPL while taking Prednisone It is generally recommended to wait for a period of time after completing a course of Prednisone before undergoing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) facial treatment. Prednisone is a corticosteroid medication that can affect the skin's response to certain treatments, including IPL. It is advisable to consult with a dermatologist or a healthcare professional who is familiar with your medical history for specific guidance. The waiting period can vary depending on the individual and the specific circumstances, but it is typically recommended to wait at least a few weeks to allow the effects of Prednisone to subside and the body to return to its normal state. This will help ensure that the IPL treatment is both safe and effective. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide you with the most appropriate recommendations based on your specific situation. Best of luck !

CONTACT NOW Answer: IPL while taking Prednisone Hi there, I think it’s important to know what you are taking prednisone for. If it’s for a respiratory infection vs a skin condition. Usually we want 2 weeks after any medication to resume any laser or any cosmetic treatment. Hope this helps!

Answer: IPL after prednisone Hi and thank you for your question. The problem with prednisone is that it can interfere with the natural healing process. Duration and dose of prednisone may influence that effect. While there is no magic time to wait after prednisone, generally 2 weeks should allow your body to get back to it's normal state. Since this is an elective treatment, I would recommend waiting.
