IPL post dermal filler (Restylane) - will this affect the filler?
January 17, 2024
Asked By:meetthefish in Washington, District of Columbia
Good morning, I received dermal fillers (Restylane) 8 days ago (last Tuesday) around my cheeks and close to the top of my face on each side. I am scheduled to have my regular Laser Hair Removal/IPL treatment on my face/beard area this coming Friday (would be around 10 days after the filler treatment). I am just wondering if having the IPL treatment will in any way affect the filler? Eg does it melt? There would be about a 10 day lag between the filler (last Tuesday) and the IPL (Friday). Thx!

While IPL can be used for hair removal. It is not the gold standard. In my opinion my suggestion would be a diode laser, or comparable hair removal specific laser this could be used periodically if the hair grows.
