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

October 20, 2015
Asked By:msminnamouse in Brookeville, Maryland

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.

Does IPL BBL cause fat loss under the skin?
Michele S. Green, MD says:

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
