I have some capillaries on the top, bottom and middle of my nose and also on my cheek and am hoping to get them removed. My question is this...is an IPL safe when fired this close to the eyes? I wore Laser-Aid Disposable Eye Shields by Honeywell when I had ear hair removed but I could still see bright white flashes when the IPL was fired off so I know I will see even brighter flashes if I get my nose and face treated. Is this normal and safe to see flashes? How do I protect my eyes?

Answer: IPL Around the Eye Area Yes, IPL can be performed around the eye area as long as the patient is wearing the appropriate eye safety shields for protection.

Answer: Can you treat by the eye area with IPL The first thing is that you should always make sure you are seeing an experienced technician and office for any IPL services. Your results will be determined by the machine, the settings, and the experience of your technician. It is safe to use IPL by the eyes as long as you are not in the soft tissue (orbital rim). When treating with IPL we treat up to the bone in that area and lightly pull down on any close skin to make sure we are getting full contact with the treatment head. The nose is a bit hard to treat, but can absolutely be effectively treated with IPL. The flashes are fine to see as long as you are wearing supplied goggles or eye shields. Either are fine and will protect your eyes the way they are supposed to. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
