How Pulse Light Technology Works

Powerful pulse light is applied over the area being treated in a series of gentle bursting bursts. The light penetrates the sub-dermal layers where it is absorbed by blood vessels or pigmentation without damaging the skin. The heat emitted by the pulse light ultimately impairs the blood vessels which allows the body to initiate its natural healing process.

Is Intense Pulse Light Therapy Safe?

IPL therapy occurs with specific parameters to ensure that the pulse is gentle yet effective. The pulse itself is uniquely shaped which allows heat that is provided by the pulse to impact the targeted areas resulting in minimal skin damage or discomfort during treatment. Clinical trials have proven that pulse light is a safe and effective treatment.

Is Intense Pulse Light Therapy Painful or Uncomfortable?

Most people describe the IPL feeling as a similar feeling to a rubber band being snapped on their skin. The vast majority of patients do not require anesthesia. However, there are some sensitive areas will call for topical anesthesia.

It is considered one of the least invasive and painful forms of anti-aging therapy.

Clients’ Expectations during Treatment

Photorejuvenation treatments using intense pulse light usually take around 15 to 30 minutes. At first, the technician providing the treatment will clean the area then will apply a cool gel and afterwards, the light pulse can be delivered with maximum effectiveness.

Once the therapy is done, the gel is removed and the skin is cleaned again. Clients shouldn’t require recovery time and can go about their day as usual.

Side effects are extremely rare; in most cases the skin might appear slightly flushed, pigmented spots or capillaries might be temporarily darker. In order to get better results, clients are asked to reduce their sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About IPL Photofacials

An intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial is a treatment that uses pulses of strong light to improve the appearance of the skin. IPL photofacials can treat a variety of conditions, including sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, rosacea, and more. The light targets specific areas of the skin, causing destruction to the unwanted cells while leaving healthy cells intact. This process zones in on collagen production—stimulating it—to give you an all-over rejuvenated look. Many people see visible results after just one treatment; however, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve desired results.

No, IPL results are not permanent. While some benefits may be seen long-term, most will leveling off after about 6 months. The consensus is that any gains made from IPL are largely due to the individual's natural skin tone and texture, as well as other facial treatments used in conjunction with IPL (microdermabrasion, for example).

IPL photofacial treatments use intense pulsed light to damage the pigment cells (melanocytes) in the upper layer of your skin. This leads to a reduction in melanin production, which in turn can help to improve the appearance of sunspots, age spots, and other discolorations.

There's some evidence that IPL photofacials may also help to improve the appearance of wrinkles and skin laxity, but results vary from person to person. Typically, you'll need a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
