Can I get an IPL facial treatment after completing a month on Prednisone for PMR?

May 13, 2023
Asked By:Laddie1 in California, CA

I will be taking Prednisone, tapering off, for a month. I have an appointment for a facial IPL treatment the week after with a dermatologist. I've had two previous IPL treatments, a year apart, with the same physician and have done fine. However, I wonder if it is wise to have an IPL treatment so close to taking Prednisone this time.
