Will IPL treatment work on angio fibromyalgia around the nose?

Question

My son has had angio fibroma since he was 8 he is now 28 will this work?

Daniel Levy, MD · Answer

IPL and other non-ablative light or laser modalities will not be able to treat angiofibromas.  For successful treatment, I recommend electrodessication or treatment with an ablative laser such as CO2.Good luck!

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

IPL will be of modest benefit in removing angiofibromas. Best to see your dermatologist who can safely and easily remove these lesions for you without a scar, typically in 1-2 treatments of electrodesiccation or ablative laser.
