IPL stands for intense pulsed light. It is a cosmetic treatment that targets redness or dark spots and works incredibly well. This type of laser has been used for decades for a good reason- it really works!
During your treatment, you will wear goggles to protect your eyes. To do this treatment, your skin needs to be totally clean with no products on it. Usually, the practitioner will apply a thin layer of gel to the treatment area, but sometimes it is done on dry skin. When the laser pulses, you will feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping on your skin. You may see a bright flash of light. Your skin may feel warm, as if you have a mild sunburn.
After your treatment, your skin may look normal, slightly reddened, or may have what looks like coffee grounds on the skin wherever you have dark spots. Over the next week, the coffee grounds will slough off (don’t pick!), revealing clearer skin. IPL is best done in a series of 3-6 treatments, performed about a month apart. We are happy to offer complimentary consultations to see if you’re a good candidate for IPL. Call today to set up your IPL appointment at Miramont MedSpa!
