Can you get diode laser after you've already had IPL?

msminnamouseOct 20, 2015
I've done IPL at home with some success. I was hoping for more effective removal with Diode but don't know if my IPL use may jeopardize my success with it? I have the appropriate light skin with black hair.

There is a theoretical risk, but the risk is still quite low. If you think your hair is thinning, speak to a knowledgeable dermatologist about solutions. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

A combination of Exfolase lotion and Melarase, light chemical peels, and light IPL treatments can help improve your condition. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

IPL/BBL is one way to rejuvenate the skin and produce new collagen.  It does not decrease collagen or cause fat loss.  I much prefer Thermage for skin tightening as it only requires one treatment and results last two years.  Best, Dr. Green
