Which treatment should be done first - IPL or ProCell microneedling/microchanneling?

Asked By:ladyjade in Florida, FL

I'm wanting IPL to address redness; the microneedling (with a growth factor serum applied afterward) to improve skin texture. Which treatment should be done first, or does the order not matter? Thanks in advance.
