IPL laser after septo rhinoplasty - can it damage the structure of the nose?

Question

Good day, can you please advise when I can do IPL laser after septo rhinoplasty? Can the use of the IPL device damage the structure of the nose?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

IPL (Intense pulsed light) treatments are typically performed for hair removal, unwanted brown spots, and for rosacea. Since the light does not pass through the skin, there is no way that this could affect the underlying cartilaginous and bony skeleton of somebody's nose following rhinoplasty. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

IPL is similar to a laser treatment, but IPL is not a laser.
Risks with the IPL are generally more related to skin problems than deeper structures, like cartilage or bone, which are the primary constituent tissue of rhinoplasty surgery
