5 days post IPL. Can I use a washcloth to wash my face?

There is a theoretical risk, but the risk is still quite low. If you think your hair is thinning, speak to a knowledgeable dermatologist about solutions. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

A combination of Exfolase lotion and Melarase, light chemical peels, and light IPL treatments can help improve your condition. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

There is no theoretical way that an IPL device can cause fat loss.  I suggest you only see an expert for treatment and consultaiton.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In my practice we combine them, I suggest being evaluated to ensure that you are a candidate for either or both  and develop a long term plan with your provider.  Please only see an expert, both of these procedures can have complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

For stronger treatments especially off the face, this is normal and will start to peel. what is important is that you have the proper skin care at this point and continue to see your physician as it heals.  I find that fraxel treatments do better after the IPLs. Best, Dr. Emer.
