IPL in conjunction with SkinPen microneedling?

Hello and thank you for your question. Absolutely IPL and microneedling can be done on the same day. Having an IPL session first then microneedling directly after is preferred. Also using SkinPen's Skinfuse 90 day skin care kit during the series of treatments is extremely effective for optimal collagen production. 

We often combine lasers with microneedling treatments on the same day. I also recommend prp to improve healing and results. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. You can preform these two treatments at the same appointment. However, we like to space these treatments out by two weeks. Preferably, we would like to do IPL first and have you come back two weeks later to do SkinPen. Ask your provider to see what plan is best for you and your skin. MedSpa Barrington IL 

Microneedling creates very fine punctures into the skin in order to create fresh collagen. Because the skin can be irritated and red immediately after I prefer to do the IPL 2 to 3 days later. But in the event a patient is not able to reschedule the laser treatment or needs to have everything done the same day, I suggest you do the IPL first and as long as the skin is not inflamed followed by the microneedling.
Good luck.

Yes, if parameters and settings conservative on the IPL and microneedling. IPL is not a laser however physics of intense light need to be adhered to. Namely cooling, pulse duration wave length etc.. etc.. additionally skin needling parameters need to be considered. Personally if a patient insist on BOTH treatments on the same day I would IPL first as skin is intact. After IPL skin needle. The question begs- what is your end goal? There maybe other options to address your skin concerns. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
