Is IPL or topical Vitamin C better for removing pink patches resulting from a Jessner peel done 4 to 5 months ago? (photo)

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Red or pink patches can be improved with a combination of lasers (ProYellow, Excel V, VBeam) and microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I suggest you follow up with your provider. Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist. Best of luck.

Rebecca Gelber, MD · Answer

For almost every skin condition, well performed IPL with a good system (Sciton is expensive, but the best) and and experienced provider will ALWAYS outperform a serum or cream. Everyone wants a magical potion for their skin. Medical grade lasers and IPL are better for essentially everything except IPL induced hyperpigmentation, especially on darker skin.
