Can I get IPL/photofacial after a hair transplant?

I just had an FUE hairtransplant and was wondering if I can get a photofacial with an IPL/OPL laser after 3,5 weeks? The laser will not come near my forhead since I only want to treat my nose and cheeks to get rid of a few broke capillaries. Will the laser shock my system to much and influence the grafts or will it be fine?

Hi, it is recommended to wait a full 2 weeks in between filler and IPL or Laser Hair Removal. Any potential heat to the skin near the area may compromise the injections causing it to lose volume, move out of place, or possibly even dissolve.
