Question 1

When will you see results, and how long will they last?

Accepted Answer

After about a week, you will see improved radiance and an overall glow. But you’ll need multiple IPL treatments to see a significant lightening of dark spots and sun damage. The more treatments you do, the more corrective it is. We recommend starting with three to four sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, for best results.

Question 2

Can IPL be combined with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

IPL can achieve even more results when combined with other procedures, like Laser Resurfacing, Chemical Peels, and RF Microneedling. To maintain your results, it’s helpful to have follow-up treatments once or twice a year after your initial round. To prolong your results, get regular facials and use medical-grade skin care. Be diligent about wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, to prevent new sun damage.

Question 3

Does IPL have risks and side effects?

Accepted Answer

IPL is a safe treatment, with few risks and side effects. You may have some minor redness and discomfort, such as a burning sensation, in the hours after your treatment. It’s also normal for your skin to have a sandpaper-like texture for five days afterward (or longer, in some cases).  Most or all side effects can be prevented by following our pre and post care instructions.
