Thank you foryour question elmtree26. I understand your concern. IPL is a greattreatment for facial rejuvenation. It can also be used for permanent hair reduction. It should not affect a keloid, but it would be a good idea to try a test spot. Those who get keloids tend to have darker skin. Therefore the settings on the IPL must be appropriate to avoid PIH. Please consultwith a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Keep watching though with each treatment, you obviously have reactive skin.
