FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IPL FAQs

During the procedure, people may feel a pinching sensation. Some individuals have described this as a feeling similar to an elastic band being “snapped” on the skin. The sensation is moderate and very tolerable.
The average treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
The short answer is no. Healing after an IPL treatment varies with the patient, although in most cases takes less than a week and as little as a few hours to days. Immediately after the treatment, you may notice some minor redness and swelling, similar to that of a sunburn. Ice packs or a cool washcloth can be used as needed. If treating freckles and other dark spots, you may experience dryness and flaking of the treated area. Some of the spots may appear darker, but they should slough off within a few days. You can apply makeup immediately after an IPL treatment if desired. Avoid heavy exertion and activities which may cause flushing of the skin for three days after treatment.
It will take four to six weeks to see the full results from a single treatment; however, you should see dark spots fade and slough off within a week. If you complete a series of treatments about one month apart, the maximum results will be visible two to three months after the last treatment.
Depending on the indication of treatment, for best IPL results, it is generally recommended that patients receive, on average, 3-4 treatments scheduled four weeks apart.
Are There Any Side Effects? Mild complications of IPL include Redness, swelling, light bruising, itching, peeling, and scabbing.
