I had a Vbeam session done on the broken capillaries on my nose with great results. I purchased a package deal of IPL and am curious if one week later I can do IPL on the same veins treated with the Vbeam. Is one week long enough in between Vbeam and IPL? If not, how long should I wait? Thanks!

Answer: IPL Following Laser Treatment Thank you for your question. In most cases, it is very safe to perform Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment the same day or shortly after laser treatments such as the V Beam Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL). I often combine laser and IPL technology to achieve a patient's goals. If you are only treating the red blood vessels, you may consider waiting 2-4 weeks between treatment sessions to avoid wasting your financial resources. If you hope to treat some brown as well as the red discoloration, consider the IPL now. Please see a dermatologist or laser specialist to best evaluate your concerns. Best of luck,Suneel Chilukuri, M.D.Houston, Texas

Answer: IPL after Vbeam You should wait 3 weeks after your Vbeam treatment to see if you will require another treatment for your nose. You can treat the other areas with IPL at any time. Remember to use sun protection.
