IPL is a technology that uses light to heat and destroy selected targets in the skin.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a slight stinging sensation. To prevent this, you will be asked to apply an anaesthetic cream to numb the area about 30 minutes prior to the procedure.
The area will be cleaned and the IPL handpiece is applied to deliver light pulses. Cooling gel may be used before or after the treatment. For your safety, your eyes will be covered and you should keep your eyes closed.
Typically, sessions are repeated once a month or once every 6 weeks. You can have a series of between 4 to 6 sessions.
You will experience some redness for a few days and some spots may appear darker initially but should improve with time.
