Is IPL safe if I have Acute Porphyria Cutanea Tarda? I am in remission and am not bothered by the sun.

Vessels need to be treated with vascular lasers like yellow laser, excel v or IPL.  I avoid IPL in certain skin types that are darker skin.  I suggest seeing an expert for a combination treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your query. It does effect a little bit as IPL generates heat which can be harmful for the implant. Hope it helps.All The Best

Thanks for your query. The PIH will go but it takes its own sweet time. You can send in a picture and we can advise you topical creams which can fasten the process of healing. Hope it helps.All The Best

IPL rarely works with at home devics. I like fraxel for off the face treatment and for all skin types.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your query. IPL does not cause thrush. It could be due to an allergic reaction from the cream you applied. You should see a dermatologist as soon as you can. Hope it helps.All The Best

Thanks for your query. No once exposure to laser will not make any difference. It does not cause any permanent damage. It might cause darkening for a while and then it gets back to normal. Hope it helps.All The Best
