What to expect
You may feel a gentle warmth during treatment. Post-treatment, expect mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which typically fades within a few hours. Dark spots may darken initially before lightening in a few days.
How does it Work?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) delivers light energy to the skin’s surface to target discoloration. The light breaks down pigment from sun damage, age spots, and redness, while also stimulating collagen for a more even, youthful complexion.

FAQ
Q: Does it help anti-aging and collagen?
A: IPL will stimulate collagen growth by treating a deeper layer of skin, while improving texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Q: How long does a treatment take?
A: Average treatment takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
Q: When will I see results? How long do they last?
A: Depending on what we’re trying to accomplish there will be different timelines.
Pigment
It will take four to six weeks to see the full results from a single treatment, however you should see dark spots fade and slough off within a week. If you complete a series of treatments about one month apart, the maximum results will be visible in two to three months after the last treatment.
Veins
The results of IPL begin to appear right after treatment and continue to improve over the next few days to weeks. It does take some time for veins to fully collapse and be reabsorbed by the body, so full results cannot be seen right away. If symptoms accompanied the spider veins, they are usually relieved immediately after treatment.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Mild complications of IPL include: Redness, swelling, light bruising, itching, peeling, and scabbing.
