Is it safe to IPL over freckles or moles?

When it comes to using IPL for hair removal, many people wonder if it's safe to use on areas of the skin that have moles or freckles.

While IPL is generally safe, it's important to take precautions when treating these areas to avoid any potential risks or side effects.

 

Firstly, it's not safe to use IPL directly over moles. Moles have a higher concentration of pigmented cells than the skin around them, and the laser pulse could disturb the pigment cluster, causing it to lift off the skin.

This can result in discomfort, irritation, and even scabbing in the area for up to two weeks after treatment.

 

To protect larger moles during treatment, you can cover them with a plaster. For smaller moles, use caution and avoid treating them directly.

Alternatively, you can apply a white kohl pencil to the mole to protect it during treatment.

Freckles, on the other hand, are generally safe to treat with IPL. However, it's important to note that they may appear lighter in color after treatment.
