Hi I'm looking to get IPL for my rosacea but I am worried about the risk of beard loss, is it possible to use short wavelengths eg.530nm and avoid hair loss? Any help would be much appreciated Thanks in advance Carl
Answer: Can IPL cause beard Loss? Hi there,Most definitely it can. IPL will cause heating of dark hairs that are in the growth phase and result in a permanent loss of hair. If you have a very thick beard, it is unlikely to penetrate however, it is certainly a risk. If you'd like to read more about IPL and the effectiveness see the article I wrote below. James P.

Answer: IPL and Facial Hair -- Get the Vbeam or Excel V treatment instead Yes IPL can cause hair loss, so I suggest getting a different device for redness or blood vessels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: IPL and beard loss IPL treatments can cause hair loss. For this reason, I avoid the beard and mustache area when treating men. Rosacea often appears on the cheeks and nose, so an effective treatment can usually be done while avoiding the beard area. Any spider veins on the face can safely be treated with a 1064 Nd:YAG without risk of hair loss.
