I will be taking Prednisone, tapering off, for a month. I have an appointment for a facial IPL treatment the week after with a dermatologist. I've had two previous IPL treatments, a year apart, with the same physician and have done fine. However, I wonder if it is wise to have an IPL treatment so close to taking Prednisone this time.
Hello, I am 34 years old, half Filipina and half German and have a pigment spot on my temple. I am skin type III and tend to have spots and freckles. I went for a consultation regarding the pigmentation mark. The doctor does pico treatments which are best for my skin type according to internet research. However, she advised me not to have laser treatment as she doesn't think the results are predictable. She says that the spot could also become permanently darker. I also went to another dermatologist who told me that he should perform an OPL treatment on me. The spot would not get darker, but in the worst case would stay that way. However, I read on the internet that IPL/OPL are not good options for my skin type. Should I try a chemical peel instead or what is your advice? Thank you very much!
I am getting botox in my forehead only. Is it okay to get ipl laser the next day ONLY under my eyes (not where botox was injected). The ipl is only to help stubborn bruises that are lingering 4 weeks after facial fat-grafting. Unfortunately, it's how my appointments are falling and I just want to make sure one won't affect the other.
I used a Nood at home IPL device that claimed to be safe for hair removal including Brazilian. I used it weekly for a month, then noticed severe irritation on my labia. I went to urgent care and was given Bacitran ointment and doxycycline. Saw my gyno 3 days later. he told me my skin looked normal and to stop doxy. Its been 2 months and my skin still looks normal but feels like it is burning and irritated almost all the time. Could there be permanent damage even though no one can see it?
