Can I have IPL hair removal if I'm breastfeeding? My baby is almost 8 month old. Thank you!

Retinol creams may make you sensitive to the IPL. I would either switch to non-light treatments such as Melarase creams for dark spots and age spots, or use a moisturizer containing ceramides such as Elevase Moisture Booster to avoid dryness. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. IPL is limited to treating fine hair and dark skin. YAG and ALEX are the best treatment for permanent hair reduction. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Dermatologist for best treatment plan. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Accutane is a photosensitive medication. I would recommend waiting at least 6 months before doing any laser treatments as this can cause burn and/or hyperpigmentation. I hope this helps!

Our protocol for hyper-erythematous redness uses a combination of lasers and Nanofractional RF to help reduce localized and perfuse hypervascularity in the skin. We begin with an evaluation of the redness and evaluate the cause of the hypervascularity. Treatments with Limelight IPL, Vbeam...

Thank you for your question. It is best to consult with a Board Certified Dermatologist to give you the best treatment plan. I would recommend wearing SPF 30 with zinc everyday. IPL is best to treat brown spots and requires few treatments at least 5 to 6 every 4 weeks. I hope this helps!

Hair removal can be performed prior to pregnancy.  I would not recommend treatment with IPL or any device while you are pregnant.  Pregnancy is more likely to produce changes in blood vessels such as spider veins than to induce hair growth.
