Will Vitamin C and collagen supplements help with IPL?

nhgal
I am 45, very pale and little to no sun spots. I have had 2 rounds of IPL for broken capillaries. Right after my last session I started taking 1000mg of vitamin c supplement and 2500mg of collagen, will this help the IPL "work better" or is the vitamin c supplement not a good idea? Also, it is ok to take a Vitamin C supplement before IPL since it is internal and not topically applied?
