Question 1

What Is IPL Treatment Used For?

Accepted Answer

IPL treatment is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing redness and pigmentation. Its objective is to provide your skin with a youthful appearance. IPL is particularly great for brown sun freckles and facial redness caused by rosacea and sun exposure.  It is also a great treatment for unwanted hair growth!

Question 2

Dose IPL Remove Hair Immediately?

Accepted Answer

No, IPL does not remove hair immediately. After getting IPL, the hair follicles get damaged but stay in your skin, mostly at the top layer. As your skin renews itself, these damaged follicles are pushed out, so it might seem like the hair is growing back. But don't worry; within one to two weeks, the hair will fall out naturally.

Question 3

Dose IPL Remove Browns and Reds to the Skin Permanently?

Accepted Answer

IPL is a great treatment to reduce browns and reds currently on your skin. However, with on-going sun exposure, pigmentation and redness will return. Hence, our skin care professionals will recommend an excellent and personalized skin care routine to maintain your results longer. It is also recommended to maintain your initial results with IPL sessions once every 1-2 years depending on your lifestyle and skin findings.

Question 4

What Are the Side Effects of IPL?

Accepted Answer

Side effects of Intense Pulsed Light Treatment are generally mild. It is common to see mild redness post procedure. Patients treating sun spots will experience mild peeling post procedure as the sun spots gently fall off. Other side effects which are extremely rare include: Change Color Crusty Skin Blistering (very rare) Bruising

Question 5

What Happens If You Stop IPL?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend you stop your IPL therapy after just one or two courses, as this may not show effective results. Usually, you can see noticeable results after the third session depending on the skin condition treated and location. In addition, our professionals will develop a maintenance program to maintain your results.

Who Should Avoid IPL?

You have recently tanned your skin, whether through sunlight exposure, tanning beds, or tanning creams. You are using a retinoid cream or on isotretinoin (e.g Accutane). You have an active skin condition to location being addressed. You are pregnant. You have a skin resurfacing disorder. You have keloid scar tissue. You have tattoos or permanent makeup. You have certain skin conditions such as open wounds, active infection, or active skin cancer.

We find most of our patients can resume regular activities after their procedure (with good sun protection of course).
