What happens during IPL therapy?

During IPL therapy, a handheld device is used to emit pulses of intense light onto the skin in the targeted area. The device emits a broad spectrum of light wavelengths that are absorbed by the pigments in the skin.

The pulses of light cause a mild sensation on the skin, which some people describe as a snapping or stinging sensation. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the skin before the treatment.

IPL therapy typically takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

How soon will I see the results of my IPL treatment?

The results of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy can vary depending on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. Some people see noticeable improvements in their skin after just one treatment, while others may require a series of treatments to achieve their desired results.

In general, the results of IPL therapy are gradual and progressive, as the treatment works to stimulate collagen production and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Typically, most people will start to see noticeable improvements in their skin within a few weeks to a few months after the first treatment.

The exact timeline for results will depend on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. For example, someone with sun damage or age spots may see a reduction in the appearance of these discolorations within a few weeks to a few months after the first treatment. Someone with rosacea may see a reduction in redness and flushing within a few weeks to a few months as well.

It’s important to note that IPL therapy is not a one-time treatment and the results are not permanent. Maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain the results over time.
