What effect will IPL have on moles? What will they look like after?

Good question - I would suggest an evaluation by your dermatologist first to see if they really are moles on your face, or possibly other benign lesions.  There are other techniques such as light electrical hyfercation for some benign growths on the face, depending on your skin type, but you need an in-person, expert evaluation first.   I agree with the other physicians, sometimes IPL is not very effective on pigment and we don't use it as often as lasers in our practice.  It also is important that you have a skin check and make sure none of your spots are abnormal as a result of previous sun exposure/damage.  I wish you luck!

Thanks for your question. While IPL is useful to treat some pigmentation issues of the facial skin, it has no appreciable effect on moles. There are other options to treat med which I would address with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
