Use of the IPL is targeted at the uppermost layers of the skin. It should not in any way effect the implant and I would not have any objections to treating an individual with breast implants as long as there was no evidence of impending extrusion (thin skin over the implant).
There is no reason for concern when receiving IPL for clearing up the dark age/sun spots of the chest in light of breast augmentation. The depth of energy delivery does not penetrate the level of the implants and you would not have any consequences from the treatment. Hope that helps
Whether you intend to be treated with an IPL or a BBL, there is no reason to be concerned. These types of treatment are superficial, and I see no way that an implant could possibly be affected! Go ahead and enjoy the treatment!
IPL is a very superficial treatment of the skin that won't have any harmful effects on breast implants. Go ahead and don't worry at all.
If your skin is tanned, you would have an increased likelihood of complications like hyperpigmentation or burn after your IPL treatment. There is no downside to waiting 2 weeks. I hope this is helpful for you.
IPLs for hair removal have been used since the early 1990s, and I performed the FDA studies for these devices shortly thereafter. There is no evidence that the light energy can penetrate deep enough to produce any untoward effects on the reproductive system. After 20 years, I assure you these...

While IPL can be used to reduce the amount of hair on the face, it is certainly not the optimal treatment. You should be looking for a true laser for laser hair removal such as a Nd:Yag or Diode laser which are much more effective and safer.
Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong...
Yes, you can tan after IPL -- but more importantly, sun damage and sun pigmentation will continue to occur, and intense sun can reverse the IPL treatment effect. Regular use of sunscreen and sun-protective behaviors are always recommended, before and after IPL treatments.
