Keep reading to see how IPL can light up your world.
What is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a versatile treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL employs multiple wavelengths to treat a range of skin issues simultaneously.
It’s a non-invasive way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery.
Advantages of IPL
IPL comes with the following advantages:
- Versatility. IPL can address multiple skin conditions, from sun damage to rosacea.
- Minimal Downtime. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
- Improvement Over Time. Your skin will continue to improve for weeks after treatment as it produces more collagen.
- Comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort, often comparing the sensation to a light snap from a rubber band.
Preparing for Treatment
Before your IPL session, you’ll need to sidestep sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain medications that make your skin more light-sensitive.
Your provider will give a tailored list of dos and don’ts to ensure you’re fully prepped.
During Treatment Expectations
During IPL therapy, you’ll wear protective eyewear while a handheld device is passed over your skin, emitting light pulses. It’s quick, with sessions typically lasting about 30 minutes.
You may feel a warming sensation, but the built-in cooling systems in most devices help keep discomfort at bay.
Aftercare Tips
Post-IPL, babying your skin is key:
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and exercise for the first 48 hours.
- Use mild skincare products and avoid anything abrasive or irritating.
- A high-SPF sunscreen is non-negotiable to protect your newly treated skin.
- Keep your skin moisturized to enhance the healing process.
Results You Can Look Forward To
After a series of treatments, expect to see a more even skin tone, reduced redness, and a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The light therapy works to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen, so your skin will not only look clearer but also plumper and more youthful.
Ideal Candidates
IPL is a fantastic option for those with sun-damaged skin, freckles, hyperpigmentation, or broken capillaries. It’s also effective for people with a ruddy complexion or those who just want a brighter, more even skin tone.
