FAQs about IPL

How Does IPL Work?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses flashlamps to emit multicolored light across a broad wavelength spectrum and bandpass filters to ensure the correct frequencies are used. Before the procedure, a cooling gel is applied to enhance comfort and prepare the skin.

This light energy targets pigmented areas and vascular lesions by drawing pigmentation closer to the skin’s surface for removal. IPL effectively targets unwanted pigment and unwanted pigmentation without damaging the surrounding skin. The treatment is nonablative, meaning it does not remove any layers of skin. Additionally, the light from IPL is less focused than that of lasers, allowing it to penetrate deeper into the skin without harming the surface. The heat from the light stimulates collagen production and reduces discoloration.

What Skin Concerns Can IPL Treat?

IPL is commonly used to treat:

Sun damage and dark spots
Hyperpigmentation
Brown spots
Freckles
Pigmented spots
Sun spots
Broken capillaries
Spider veins
Rosacea and skin redness
Uneven skin tone
Skin texture
Wrinkles
Signs of aging
Unwanted facial hair
IPL treatments can effectively target unwanted hair, pigmentation issues, redness, and fine lines on the face.

IPL also stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps improve overall skin tone and texture. Each treatment is customized by adjusting filters, pulse duration, and energy levels to target your specific concern.

What Areas Can Be Treated With IPL?

IPL can be used on many areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and other sun-exposed areas. IPL is not suitable for skin with permanent makeup or tattoos, and extra care is taken near the eyes.

What Are the Benefits of IPL?

IPL helps:

Improve skin clarity and brightness
Reduce redness and broken capillaries
Minimize dark spots and discoloration
Improve uneven tone
Achieve a more even skin tone
Improve skin texture for a smoother appearance
Stimulate collagen for a refreshed appearance and reduction in wrinkles

IPL is non-invasive, has minimal downtime, and fits easily into most lifestyles. IPL treatments can lead to long-lasting results if patients protect their skin from further sun damage.

When Can I Expect to See Results from IPL?

Some skin improvements can be seen within a few days of treatment, but complete effects may take longer. Treatments are cumulative, so results will continue to improve after each session. The effects are most noticeable after 3-6 months and may vary based on skin type, treatment area, and number of sessions completed.

Am I a Good Candidate for IPL?

IPL is suitable for people of all ages. It works best on fair to medium skin tones. IPL targets melanin in the skin, making it less effective for people with darker skin tones who naturally have more melanin.
You may not be a good candidate for IPL if you have an active skin infection or acne, are pregnant, have a recent sunburn or sun tan, are breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions, or are sensitive to light.

Is there downtime after IPL?

Recovery time after IPL treatments is minimal. You may experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours. A few days after treatment, you may notice small brown spots that resemble coffee grounds; these are areas where melanin or damaged tissue is being shed and will flake off naturally over several days. Most patients can resume most normal activities immediately after IPL treatment.
