IPL

IPL therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses high-intensity light to target various skin concerns. The light penetrates the skin's surface, where it is absorbed by specific structures, such as melanin (pigmentation) or hemoglobin (blood vessels). The heat generated by the light disrupts these targets, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.

IPL is versatile in treating a wide range of skin concerns, including overall skin rejuvenation, hyperpigmentation, melasma, vascular lesions, redness, and rosacea.

  • Treat hyperpigmentation, redness, melasma, and uneven skin tone on the face.

  • Treat hyperpigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone on the neck.

  • Target spider veins and broken capillaries.

 FAQs

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses high-intensity pulsed light to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as hyperpigmentation, melasma, redness, and vascular lesions.

  • IPL emits a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by target areas in the skin (such as melanin or hemoglobin). This energy is converted into heat, which helps to break down excess pigmentation, reduce redness, or stimulate collagen production.

  • Pigmentation Issues: Sun spots, freckles, age spots, and melasma.

    Redness & Rosacea: Helps reduce redness and visible blood vessels.

    Vascular Lesions: Treats broken capillaries, spider veins, and other small blood vessels near the skin's surface.

  • IPL is generally considered a mildly uncomfortable procedure, with sensations described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some patients may feel warmth, but it's usually tolerable. Cooling gels are often used to minimize discomfort. The treatment session typically lasts between 20-30 minutes.

  • Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions for optimal results. These sessions are usually spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. The number of sessions may vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to treatment.

    • Avoid direct sun exposure: For at least 2 weeks before the procedure

    • Avoid tanning beds: IPL works best on untanned skin

    • No waxing or tweezing: It’s important to refrain from waxing or tweezing the area being treated for about 1-2 weeks before the session (shaving is acceptable)

    • Consultation: Ensure you consult with our certified professionals to discuss your skin type, concerns, and any contraindications

  • Immediate results may include slight redness reduction and skin tightening. Pigmentation may darken slightly initially before flaking off in 1-2 weeks. Full results, such as improved skin texture, reduction in age spots, and collagen stimulation, may take several weeks to months to fully develop.

  • Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 after each session. Avoid direct sun exposure for several weeks after treatment

    Moisturize: Keep the treated area moisturized.

    Avoid Harsh Skin Products: Use gentle skin care for a week post procedure.

    Avoid Scrubbing or Exfoliating: Don’t use harsh exfoliants on the treated area for a few days.

    Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, or intense heat treatments for a few days after the procedure
