Recovery time of IPL burns on my forehead .

IPL can be used for hair removal. In our office, we prefer the Yag laser for hair removal. Coloring the hair shaft will cause the IPL to pick up the pigment, but the color will not penetrate into the hair follicle, the ultimate target of laser hair removal. Best, Dr....

Home IPL devices typically utilize low level energy.  I think it is inconceivable that IPL would cause illness or infertility.

Talk to your doctor about your concerns. If all is normal, I would recommend a ceramide cream such as Elevase Moisture Booster to help strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier function. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Before jumping the gun, I would speak to a dedicated laser specialist about the causes of the premature hair growth. Our office specializes in hair removal and we take a more conservative approach. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

You may be an excellent candidate for daily sunscreen, light chemical peels, and IPL photofacials. In our office, we use the Limelight IPL with excellent results. Parental consent is required under age 18.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. Wait 72 hours, and then go in for a follow up visit. Perhaps they were just a bit conservative with the treatmennt. They just may need to retreat you if there is no response. I hope this helps!
