Thank you foryour question Jlynnp. I understand your concern. IPL is a greattreatment for facial rejuvenation. PCT is not a contraindication to having IPL treatments. However appropriate settings must be used. Please consultwith a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
Theoretically the porphyrins in PCT are only activated around 400 nanometers - the end of the UVA range. IPL is visible light - starting at 400. However, definitions vary as to where UVA stops and visible light starts so I would stay away from any IPL treatment below 500 nanometers for sure. See a physician experienced with IPL who is willing to research this. If you were my patient I would do more research and also perform a test spot prior to treatment. Also, there may be other treatments to address you concerns - maybe you don't need IPL.Best to you,Dr. Norcom
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
You definitely can have the V-Beam or IPL laser over the chin implant. It should be a very effective procedure for you but please consult a specialist. Best, Dr. Green
