FAQ's
Is IPL safe?
As long as the IPL device is used correctly, IPL is safe. IPL can damage the pigmented ocular tissues such as the retina; if proper protection is not worn, which is why it is of upmost importance to protect the eye by wearing the eye protection provided with your device.
What should I avoid after IPL therapy?
Avoid sun exposure, always use sunscreen but avoid heavily applying sunscreen. Avoid picking or scratching, skin irritants, waxing, tanning or any type of facial exfoliants.
How does IPL work for acne?
IPL kills acne bacteria, reduces inflammation, stimulates collagen production, improves skin tone, reduces oil production and pore size. IPL may also treat other skin conditions, such as age spots, suns spots, rosacea, and broken blood vessels.
How does IPL work for hyperpigmentation?
IPL uses light waves to target melanin in the skin, which causes the pigmentation to break down. The body then naturally breaks down the fragments.
How long will it take to see results?
The number of treatments required varies based on your skin and hair type, as well as the area being treated. On average, most people undergo 6-10 sessions for permanent hair reduction, but this number can differ from person to person. If you have hirsutism, you may have thicker, coarser hair, which could require more treatments. Sessions are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart to accommodate the different stages of hair growth. Treatments are most effective during the growth stage, so scheduling them this way ensures the best results. IPL is an excellent option for controlling hirsutism and can be effectively applied to both the face and body.
How long will the results last?
A single treatment can reduce hair by 10%–40% and repeated treatments by as much as 90%, and these results may persist for as long as 12 months.
Is IPL FDA approved?
IPL is FDA approved for treatment of hyperpigmentation, acne vulgaris and hair removal.
