Skin feels bumpy after IPL

Hi and thank you for reaching out with your question. You state that you had received an IPL treatment to help treat redness and sun spots on your face and that you noticed the texture of the skin change on the first-day post-treatment. Although it would be helpful to see a before and after picture and to gain more information about the parameters of the treatment, I would like to stress that what you are experiencing most likely is some post-treatment inflammation in the skin. This is not uncommon after IPL treatment and may take anywhere from a few days to 1 week to resolve. It is important to follow your provider's instructions in terms of sunblock use and post-treatment ointments and to follow up with them at your scheduled time. If you are still concerned I would suggest you speak with them earlier. Good luck.

Hi and thank you for reaching out with your question. I am also very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. The questions you bring up are very important and have many implications. The decision to undergo the treatments you mention are very personal and require a candid and open conversation with a specialist surgeon in person. Someone who would be able to learn your medical history and examine you to be able to offer some guidance on this important decision. There are many questions and tests that can now be offered to decipher the risk of developing breast cancer in the wake of first-degree relative developing the illness. As such, it is important that you take your questions for a thorough face-to-face consultation.

Hi, and thank you for your question.
PRP or platelet-rich-plasma is a relatively new treatment that utilizes a concentrated fraction of platelets from your blood. These tiny blood cells are full of growth factors and stimulants that can help regenerate your skin and provide a natural glow.
Often, treatments are performed every 1-3 months (for a total of 3-4 treatments) depending on age, patient needs, and the degree of skin laxity/aging. Unfortunately, there is currently no standardized protocol for PRP treatments, and it is often left up to the patient and their doctor to have a thorough discussion of expectations and goals. There are many commercial kits available each with their properties and platelet recovery rates, so it's important that you ask your physician which equipment they use and what kinds of results they've obtained in the past.
The current standard of practice is to provide the patient undergoing the treatment with a printed sheet that shows the percent recovery rate of platelets (you want this to be above 65%). Some doctors deliver the plasma using needles, Mesotherapy delivery device (my preference), or a micro-needling device. Some doctors also include injections of certain vitamins during the sessions.
As for the use of hyaluronic acid fillers, this can be safely done along with the PRP session, and there is no risk from having the treatment performed that way. In fact, the original developer of the "Vampire Facelift" intended for the treatment to be carried out in this way.
The side effects from a PRP treatment are usually very mild and can include redness, mild swelling, mild bruising, and some irritation that usually subsides after 2-3 days.
Best of luck.
