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

Question

Spots aren't flaking off as much as I thought. Can I exfoliate

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would pat dry your face and use a gentle cleanser. Our clinic's choice is Hydrase Soy Facial Cleanser to help improve the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Anna Magee, MD · Answer

Being patient can be hard to do after IPL treatment!  I recommend to wait until day 7 and then it is ok to use exfoliating clarisonics and even a microdermabrasion treatment to help freshen up the treated skin and slough off the treated skin.  Continue with moisturizing as well!
