common ipl questions

FAQ
what is ipl?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), also known as a “photo-facial” is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and improve various skin concerns. It works by delivering light energy to the skin at multiple wavelengths, which is absorbed by target areas, leading to rejuvenation and a more even complexion with minimal downtime.   

is ipl painful?

The pain level varies by individual, but overall, it is considered minimal. Most people experience a light “snap”, like a rubber band, during treatment. There is a built-in cooling mechanism that helps minimize discomfort.  

what is the cost of an ipl treatment?

Cost varies, but plan to budget several hundred dollars per treatment. Multiple treatments (3+) spaced 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended for best outcome. Package pricing is available.  

will i need multiple ipl treatments?

While some results may be seen after each session, on average most patients require 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of the skin condition being treated and/or the patient’s aesthetic goals.  

what is the downtime after an ipl treatment?

There is little to no downtime after IPL. Patients can resume normal activities immediately. Most patients experience some mild redness or swelling for up to a week, that can look like a slight sunburn.  

how soon will i see the results from ipl?

Post-treatment, pigmented areas darken, signaling the start of the renewal process, with visible flaking off within 7-21 days and vascular improvements within 10-21 days. 

how long do the effects of ipl last?

With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last up to a year or more. We recommend maintenance sessions for prolonged effects. 

what skin problems can be improved with ipl?

IPL effectively treats sun damage, red/brown discoloration, age spots, rosacea, and broken capillaries, enhancing your skin’s overall tone and texture. 

are there any side effects of ipl?

Side effects are minimal, including temporary redness, swelling and a burning sensation that may last a few hours. We’ll guide you through aftercare to ensure smooth recovery. It is very important to closely follow all post-treatment care instructions.
