I'd like to get an IPL or PDL treatment for my rosacea. However I have a chin implant. I'm worried that this will affect the healing process of the skin in that area as it's quite stretched

Answer: Can I get IPL/PDL laser treatments over a chin implant?
Thanks for your query. The PIH will go but it takes its own sweet time. You can send in a picture and we can advise you topical creams which can fasten the process of healing. Hope it helps.All The Best
In my experience that at home IPL and laser hair removal treatments do not work. Having a darker skin tone you are at greater risk for hyperpigmentation as well as hypopigmentation. It's best to find a trained professional and not risk permanent damage to your skin. Look for the Venus Versa....
Thank you for
your question modessa. I understand your concern. IPL is a great
treatment for facial rejuvenation. This is best evaluated by your doctor. It depends on what the cream and tablet were. Please consult
with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
