Do you want to find a way to enhance your skin’s tone and texture or tackle issues like sunspots or fine lines? IPL (the acronym for Intense Pulsed Light) treatments might be your skin’s new best friend. This non-invasive procedure uses light energy to rejuvenate the skin, leaving you with a radiant and more even complexion. To help you better understand IPL and how it can work wonders for your face, we’ve put together answers to some of the most frequently asked questions on IPL treatment.

What exactly is IPL treatment?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is described by our team as a skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target issues like pigmentation, redness, fine lines, and unwanted hair. It penetrates the skin and addresses concerns at their root while leaving the surrounding tissues unharmed.

Who is IPL treatment best suited for? Is it good for your face?

IPL treatment is ideal for individuals with light to medium skin tones who want to address concerns like age spots, uneven pigmentation, broken capillaries, or fine lines. While it’s excellent for many of our patients, those with very dark skin or certain conditions like active acne may not be ideal candidates. It’s always a good idea to book a consultation with a professional at Splendid Aesthetics to determine if it’s the right choice for you.

How does IPL help with pigmentation and redness?

When the IPL device emits light, the energy is absorbed by melanin for pigmentation or hemoglobin for redness. This causes the pigment or damaged blood vessels to break down and naturally fade away over time, leaving your skin looking brighter and more even.

Does IPL treatment hurt?

The treatment is often described as feeling like a quick snap of a rubber band directly on the skin. While the sensation isn’t exactly a spa-like massage, most patients find it quite tolerable. Our devices include cooling features to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the session.

Before & After Results

IPL therapy targets pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, and vascular lesions, restoring skin tone and clarity for a radiant complexion.

How many sessions are needed to see results?

Most people notice an improvement after just one session, but for optimal results, a series of three to five treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended. This allows your skin to heal and continue improving between sessions.

How can I maintain my results?

To maximize your IPL results, protect your skin with daily sunscreen and follow a nourishing skincare routine. Staying out of the sun and keeping up with maintenance treatments as recommended will also help your glowing skin last longer.
