What is IPL treatment?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light filtered to specific wavelengths to target pigment, blood vessels or hair follicles in the skin. Unlike lasers which use a single wavelength, IPL treats multiple concerns simultaneously including sun damage, rosacea, thread veins and unwanted hair.
How is IPL different from laser treatment?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light (multiple wavelengths) while lasers use a single focused wavelength. IPL treats larger areas faster and is more versatile, but lasers deliver more precise energy for specific targets. IPL is generally better for diffuse concerns like overall sun damage, while lasers excel at targeted problems like deep pigmentation.
How many IPL sessions do I need?
Most concerns require 3-6 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Hair removal typically needs 6-8 sessions. Pigmentation and sun damage may improve noticeably after 2-3 sessions. Your practitioner will recommend a course based on your skin concern and type.
Is IPL safe for all skin types?
IPL works best on lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III) with good contrast between the target and surrounding skin. It carries higher risks on darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) including burns and pigmentation changes. Nd:YAG lasers are safer alternatives for darker skin tones.
What is the downtime after IPL?
Downtime is minimal. Expect mild redness for a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken and flake off over 7-14 days. Treated thread veins may appear darker before fading. Avoid sun exposure for 2-4 weeks before and after treatment. Most people return to normal activities immediately.
