I had voluma 2 weeks ago and just had an IPL today. I was told this was ok but now I have a knot just under my nasal fold. Is it possible the IPL gad some effect on the voluma ?
Answer: IPL or BBL after Voluma Thank you for your question. Voluma is injected deep near the bone. As long as you don't have any remaining redness or inflammation, it is most likely okay to proceed with IPL treatments.Make sure you inform your doctor/provider and discuss this with him/her in detail before proceeding.Best wishes!

Answer: IPL and Voluma It is doubtful that they are related. IPL is treating the skin itself and Voluma is injected in a much deeper plane. The energy from IPL will not reach the Voluma.

Answer: IPL following Voluma I recommend either treating with IPL prior to Voluma injection (not the same day), or waiting two to three weeks after injection. All inflammation and bruising should be resolved when undergoing IPL.

Answer: Mixing light-based treatments (Laser, IPL) and injectables like Voluma: fine with caution. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Broad Band Light (BBL) do not penetrate the skin deeply, and Voluma when properly injected, is injected quite deep. It is normally not used directly in the nasolabial fold areas due to its denseness, so the lump you feel may be related solely to the Voluma placement and just coincidentally timed with the IPL treatment. Lumps are generally an expected temporary side effect of filler treatment that can usually be fixed easily. See your injector or a board-certified dermatologist as soon as possible to investigate further.

Answer: IPL after voluma ? Dear dale, thank you for your question. Injectable fillers can be used to enhance facial volume, correct lines and depressions, and rejuvenate the face without surgery. Some common fillers used in our San Diego practice include restylane, juvederm, perlane, voluma, radiesse, and sculptra. Consult with an experienced facial plastic surgeon injector to review your options. Good Luck!
