After IPL Photo facial is it okay to use hyaluronic acid under a moisturizer to help lock in moisture?

We advise our patients who had a photo facial, IPL, fraxel, or the newest non ablative fractional laser, Frax 1550, that using a high quality moisturizer with sunblock is important for reducing irritation after treatment. In general, the use of hyaluronic acid immediately after these minimally invasive procedures can cause some irritation in more sensitive skin types. The best advice is to ask your physician because he or she will know how deep the treatment was and know your skin type best.

Depending on how aggressive your IPL was, you may want to hold off from putting anything that could be an irritant for 2-3 days.Hope this helpsSincerely Michael Kulick MDSan Francisco, Ca
