How soon can I have microneedling following IPL? I just had IPL on Tuesday and I have microneedling scheduled for this Monday.

Hello Susan,Thank you for your question.  Putting the two treatments together produces a wonderful result! When I do a treatment protocol involving both micro needling and IPL, I like to wait 2 weeks in between treatments simply because you want your skin to heal completely before irritating it again with the next treatment and every person is different in regards to healing time.  Hope this helps.All the best,Carlos Mata, MD, MBA, FACS

I have no problem doing these procedures on the same day, however if you do them separately you may want to wait 1-2 weeks before proceeding with one versus the other.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. Having your microneedling 6 days after your IPL is fine. I normally schedule two weeks apart. I would recommend using PRP during your microneedling treatment to achieve optimal results and quicker healing. Best to you, Dr Faraz
