Can I use Hyaluronic acid toner and serum on the face after IPL treatments?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care and skin care recommendations. I suggest adding microneedling/prp to improve skin quality and tone. Keep in mind, laser results can take several weeks to settle and sometimes take a series of treatments to get improvement. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Always check with your physician who administered your IPL treatment for best post care instructions. Your skincare professional may recommend at-home skincare products that are tested safe to use post procedure. To complement your IPL results, we suggest SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3. Proven safe to use immediately post-IPL, this daily emulsion strengthens skin’s moisture barrier, thereby significantly increasing hydration. If you are looking to use a hyaluronic acid serum, we recommend SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier. Proven to amplify skin’s hyaluronic acid levels, this is a multi-functional corrective serum that helps improve the appearance of firmness, smoothness, and plumpness. Check with your physician to see when it is okay to start incorporating hyaluronic acid into your routine post the procedure.

Thank you for your question.  It's difficult to make exact recommendations without knowing which products specifically you are using, and what ingredients they contain.  Assuming they contain no irritating ingredients (alcohol, fragrances, etc), there shouldn't be any contraindication to using hyaluronic acid products after your IPL treatment.  It would be best to discuss your aftercare recommendations, and your skincare regimen in general with a cosmetic dermatologist.  Best of luck!
