Is IPL safe to have done as someone who previously underwent full knee replacement?

Question

Hi, I’m interested in doing IPL on my legs but I’m concerned because I’ve had a full knee replacement. I’m wondering if IPL treatment will be safe for me? Thanks in advance for any advice or guidance on this matter.

Before undergoing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment on your legs, especially considering your history of a full knee replacement, it's crucial to consult with both your dermatologist or aesthetic professional and the surgeon who performed your knee replacement. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history, current health status, and the specifics of the IPL procedure.

While IPL is generally considered safe for various skin concerns, your specific health conditions and medical history may impact the suitability and safety of the treatment. The professionals involved in your care will assess potential risks and benefits, ensuring your safety and optimal outcomes.

Best of luck !
