Will IPL photo rejuve on face affect my glutathione + vit c + thiotic acid (iv drip) procedure? Also had juverderm on cheeks.

crowsfeetawayJan 13, 2016
I just started (3rd session) GSH 600mg + vit c 10g + thiotic acid 25g through iv drip once a week to detox and whiten skim. Also human placenta via IM 3days per injection. I'm Asian in mid 40s. I also had juverderm volume ( I think?) On cheeks done more then 6mths ago. I have bad oily skin but rarely breaks out with mild scarring signed up an IPL package. Will IPL affect the glutathione iv and filler. Also I notice I can't seem to sleep the moment I started the gsh+vitc+thiotic acid. Why so

Thanks for your question. I'd wait. Prednisone can slow down your healing from any procedure. Some drugs increase your sensitivity to light, including some antibiotics. Best to wait a couple of weeks before having a cosmetic treatment.

IPL is not the best option for hair removal and I would suggest a diode, yag, or alexandrite laser for this.  Best, Dr. Emer.
