IPL

Hi Dr. Lam,

Is it safe to have an IPL following facial fat grafting? If so, what would be the appropriate amount of time after graphting to have a laser treatment for broken blood vessels?

Thank you ;)

should be fine. i would probably wait 3 months just to be safe but i laser over bruising at 1 week for those who are in town with no long-term problems and i have been doing that already for a few years. just trying to be conservative.
