IPL and Desonide On Face, Resulting in Broken Capillaries.

celicell2000
I have been using desonide cream on my face for a few years. I do not use the cream everyday but only a couple of times per week. It appears that the use of this cream has thinned my skin resulting in a few broken capillaries. I am considering an IPL treatment to help with that issue and with some brown acne scars. However, I am worried that I can have a negative reaction to the IPL due my long term use of desonide. Is it safe to get an IPL treatment after long term desonide use?
