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
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
In my experience that at home IPL and laser hair removal treatments do not work. Having a darker skin tone you are at greater risk for hyperpigmentation as well as hypopigmentation. It's best to find a trained professional and not risk permanent damage to your skin. Look for the Venus Versa....
Thank you for your question modessa. I understand your concern. IPL is a great treatment for facial rejuvenation. This is best evaluated by your doctor. It depends on what the cream and tablet were. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
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
