Can I do a enzyme peel after a IPL treatment?

Munnin90May 5, 2015
Hi, I did a IPL treatment today and I'm wondering if I can use any kind of peel until my next appointment? Before the IPL treatment I had recently started to do a enzyme peel 1 a week. But I'm a little worried to aggrivate my skin in any way.

Any pigment will get lighter when treated with the IPL. Moles can be avoided if you desire to keep them.

These burns should be treated with local wound care. Permanent discoloration may be now developing and should be counteracted by application of Melarase creams and initiation of light chemical peels by an experienced surgeon. Best, DR. Karamanoukian Santa Monica
