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.

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.

It would be best to discuss your aftercare recommendations, and your skincare regimen in general with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck!
