Is it ok to get 2 IPL treatments within 1 week of each other? (Photos)

Hi Surfsuncali,Thanks for your question. Typically the interval is 3 weeks so as to give the skin enough time to heal as well as for the medical provider to get feedback regarding the improvement and to continue to better tailor the treatment at each session. It sounds like you should visit/call your provider regarding your reaction and perhaps postpone the next session until your skin condition has normalized. Hope this helps! Best, Manish Khanna, MD FRCPC

IPL is the best treatment for rosacea, capillaries, and redness. They are usually done 3 weeks apart so the skin can improve between them and allow the laser light to correct the damage. There is no evidence that doing them every week will deliver a better result. Actually it could create too much inflammation.
