Question
As a precaution, protective eyewear i.e goggles should always be ensured before commencing any laser treatments. Cotton pads are insufficient.
It is definitely not worth improving your facial aesthetic appearance at the risk of causing any ophthalmic complications!

Is it really an IPL treatment? If it is, it is playing with fire. The risk is just not worth it. The light from IPL may potentially cause severe damage to the retina of the eye and it may permanently affect the vision.
Find a better place to do your IPL.

We always apply the use of protective eyewear during an IPL treatment as the light energy emitted can damage the eyes.
As a safety precaution, protective eyewear should always be used and it is important that your provider practices it.
Good questions! I agree with Dr Chua’s reply on the pros and cons of Fractional CO2 lasers versus Infini RF. In addition, I would like to address your question on the ideal length of time between subcision and Infini RF treatments. The ideal interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks. This is to allow for adequate skin recovery. Hope that this answers your questions!
PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
