IPL for Skin
Tightening
If you have fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity due to aging, the IPL treatment can be used for skin tightening. When activated, the device sends IPL energy into the deep dermal layers of your skin to activate collagen production. Your body gradually produces collagen, a fibrous protein that makes your skin look firm and voluminous. As such, this treatment effectively reverses the signs of aging.
IPL for Skin Rejuvenation
IPL treatment can address a wide range of skin concerns, such as freckles, vascular lesions, pigmentation problems, melasma, and more. Each wavelength of light energy can penetrate and address different skin concerns. Depending on your unique condition, the cosmetic provider channels highly-calibrated wavelengths of light energy into the pigmented lesions and blood vessels, making them dissipate and fade away from the skin’s surface.
IPL for Acne
TreatmenT
Acne breakouts occur because of the proliferation of the p.acnes bacteria, usually because of excess sebum production on your skin. The IPL device can be calibrated to minimize sebum production and kill p.acnes bacteria, thereby reducing overall acne breakouts. Furthermore, IPL therapy also facilitates skin regeneration and collagen production to minimize acne scars, helping you achieve smooth skin.

Am I a candidate for IPL treatment?
IPL treatment is an extremely personalized procedure, so it can be modified according to anyone’s skin type, skin color, or skin conditions. However, our cosmetic providers will discuss your goals, review your health history, assess your skin condition, and determine if you’re the ideal candidate for IPL therapy.
In some cases, we may recommend other treatments to address your unique needs. You might not be a suitable candidate if you are pregnant, currently taking Accutane, or if you have severe acne or active skin infections.

What are the side effects of IPL treatment?
Your skin will look red and flushed after the IPL treatment as if you’ve been out in the sun for a long time. You may also experience mild swelling and tenderness. But these side effects dissipate within a few days, especially if you moisturize regularly and wear sunscreen while going out. There is no downtime, so you can resume your daily activities immediately.
When do I see the results?
The results of the IPL treatment will gradually appear over several days or weeks, depending on your unique skin condition. You’ll notice the skin tightening results after several weeks because collagen production takes time. If you opt for skin rejuvenation for your pigmented lesions, the dark spots will become darker before flaking off. You may also need a series of 3 to 7 IPL treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
