What is Intense-Pulsed Light (IPL)?
Unlike lasers, which deliver one wavelength of light, IPL is a broadband light, which delivers a wide spectrum of light energy. This allows IPL to treat a broad range of skin conditions simultaneously, such as dark age spots and red facial veins. IPL is the good standard for skin rejuvenation and helps to provide a more youthful, healthier-looking skin.
What are the indications for IPL?
- Skin rejuvenation from long-term sun damage (Gold Standard)
- Red facial veins/telangiectasias
- Rosacea
- Pigmented lesions
What can I expect after an IPL treatment?
Your face may be pink/red post-treatment, which typically resolves within 24 hours. For some patients, the treated areas may become darker temporarily before resolving completely.
How much time In-between treatment sessions?
Typically, each treatment session is spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
How many treatment sessions are recommended?
This is not fixed, as it depends on what is being treated and personalized goals.
