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!

CONTACT NOW 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: Voluma and Laser Treatments should be done a few weeks apart. IPL after Voluma should be fine as long as the inflammation, swelling (if any) resulting from your filler injection has completely resolved. Because it can take up to 4 weeks in some patients for this to resolve it is possible that you were treated a bit too early. On the other hand 2 weeks for many is enough time. There are occasional reports that laser or IPL after any filler, including Voluma could trigger inflammation. Having performed filler injections and extensive laser procedures for over 30 years we have never had a problem. Best advice is to see your physician, the one who did the injections or supervised the injector if she/he was not a physician, to evaluate and pursue appropriate treatment.

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.
