The IPL produces a slight stinging sensation. Even when your eyes are entirely shielded by IPL eye shields, a bright light will still be visible. Usually, anesthesia is not necessary. A minor “sunburn” sensation that may follow normally fades gone within 1-2 days.

The most frequent (and anticipated) adverse impact is a deepening of the area’s more surface-level brown patches. After around 7 to 14 days, these superficial brown spots will begin to deepen and flake off. Moreover, there may be diffuse sin-related redness as well as redness around brown areas (like a halo). This may continue for 48 to 72 hours. IPL should not be performed during the hottest months of the year, or right before or right after sun exposure, in order to prevent issues. We often avoid the brighter months of summer by scheduling treatments during the fall, winter, and spring.

The price is determined by the size of the area being treated and the quantity of treatments required to solve the particular issue. Most people require up to 6 treatments to effectively treat brown spots or melasma. The majority of people will need about 3 treatments if treating redness. Every 3 to 4 weeks, treatments are administered. At the time of your consultation, after we have had a chance to make a thorough evaluation of your skin, we will offer you with personalized estimations for the cost and number of treatments needed to treat your particular condition.

IPL treatments need little downtime. If desired, darkened brown spots or discolouration can be concealed with makeup. Darkening and discolouration are typically most noticeable after the initial treatment and become less noticeable with future treatments. We ask that you refrain from tanning or using self-tanner or spray tanner for two weeks before to your treatment in order to prevent difficulties and achieve the best results. Also, it is advised that you wait 48 hours before or after your treatment to go outside in the sun. Never apply treatments on freshly tanned skin.
