I completed 9-10 sessions of clinical laser hair removal. It’s been 4mo since my last session. I am thinking about purchasing an at-home IPL device to maintain the areas I've treated. Im wondering if this is an effective way to remain hair free in the long term and whether there are any issues with using IPL after having been treated with clinical laser. I am not actively getting any treatments as I’ve completed my sessions. Skin type5,Looking for devices that specifically work for my skin

Basically you want to wait until all the incisions are completely healed before proceeding with laser hair removal. On average we would recommend 8 weeks after surgery to be completely safe and reduce risk of side effects or infection.
Thank you for your question. You can most definitely get laser hair removal after having implants. The laser does not go deep enough to puncture or hurt the implant!
From the picture you send, I can see you still have numerous hair follicles growing which indicates, you still need more laser hair removal sessions. Every person needs a different number of sessions to eliminate most of the hair follicles and achieve hair reduction and to improve ingrown hairs....
