Can I still get IPL even if I am pregnant?

Yes, most pregnant women should still be able to receive an IPL Photofacial. IPL is only a light source and very safe during pregnancy. To be on the safe side, I would check with your OB doctor for their opinion.

I wouldn't recommend continuing IPL treatment while pregnant. If you have purchased a package most medical providers will put your treatments on hold until you have delivered your baby and have finished breast feeding.

Hello,As mentioned, there is no study to confirm your concern.  But since you are pregnant, some of your skin concerns may be due to the hormonal changes associate with your pregnancy.  So, what's the rush?  The treatments are very effective for undesirable red and brown spots  on any body location and can even help with fine skin wrinkles in certain clinical situations.  The recovery times are very short if the treatments are performed correctly.  

Generally speaking we advise not doing laser, IPL or BBL, Botox, or fillers during pregnancy. While the theoretical risks are very small, its just not worth any potential risk. Best to wait till after you deliver, there's no rush. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Yes. The light emitted only penetrates the  skin and does not affect the pregnancy. In fact, IPL is used to treat the dark spots, like melasma, and red spots, like spider angiomas.

While there is no scientific data showing IPL could ever penetrate deep enough to effect a fetus, it is best to forgo all cosmetic procedures until after your pregnancy. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
