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!
