IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target skin concerns like pigmentation, redness, and fine lines. It improves skin tone and texture by stimulating collagen production, leaving a smoother and rejuvenated complexion.
IPL laser procedure is ideal for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and vascular lesions. You may be a good candidate for IPL laser treatment if you:
Desire to address skin concerns such as sunspots, freckles, redness, and uneven skin tone
Want to achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion
Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment
Have fair to medium skin tones (IPL may not be suitable for individuals with darker skin tones)
Are in good overall health and do not have any contraindications to treatment
Dr. Schwarcz will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation to determine if IPL laser treatment is the right option for you based on your unique skin type and concerns.
While IPL laser treatment offers significant benefits for many individuals, certain factors may preclude you from undergoing the procedure. You may not be a suitable candidate if you:
Have a history of keloid scarring or excessive skin sensitivity
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infections or inflammatory skin conditions in the treatment area
Have recently undergone certain cosmetic procedures or used certain medications that increase photosensitivity
Dr. Schwarcz will carefully assess your medical history and condition during your consultation to ensure that IPL laser treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
IPL laser can effectively target various areas of the face and neck, including:
Forehead
Cheeks
Nose
Chin
Jawline
Neck
The treatment can address a wide range of concerns, including sunspots, freckles, redness, broken capillaries, and uneven skin texture, resulting in a clearer, more youthful complexion.
During the IPL laser procedure, you will wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the intense light. A cooling gel will be applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort and protect the skin. Dr. Schwarcz will then use the IPL device to deliver pulses of light energy to the skin, targeting specific areas of concern.
You may experience a mild snapping or stinging sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is typically minimal and well-tolerated. The treatment usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Following IPL laser treatment, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are normal and typically subside within a few hours to a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure, although sun exposure should be avoided, and sunscreen should be applied regularly to protect the skin.
Most patients notice gradual improvements in their skin's appearance over the following weeks as pigmented lesions fade, redness diminishes, and overall skin texture improves. Dr. Schwarcz may recommend a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
