IPL Photorejuvenation

What is IPL Photorejuvenation?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment, blood vessels, and stimulate collagen in the skin. It treats multiple concerns simultaneously—sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and uneven tone—making it efficient for overall skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: IPL works best as a series. Plan 3-6 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results. Combine your treatments with a Turkey vacation to make the most of your trip.

⚠️ Insider Note: Avoid sun exposure 2 weeks before and after IPL. Tanned skin increases risk of burns and pigmentation changes. Self-tanners must also be avoided—they can interfere with treatment accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IPL painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as rubber band snaps or warm prickles. Cooling technology during treatment minimizes discomfort significantly—most find it very tolerable without numbing.

How many sessions do I need?

3-6 sessions for most concerns, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Mild sun damage may improve in 3 sessions; moderate to significant damage typically requires 5-6 sessions.

What's the difference between IPL and laser?

IPL uses broad-spectrum light that treats multiple targets (pigment, vessels, collagen) simultaneously. Lasers use single wavelengths for more targeted, specific concerns.

Is there downtime?

Minimal. Redness fades within hours. The main visible effect is that treated pigmentation darkens before flaking off over 3-7 days—easily covered with makeup.

Who is not a candidate?

Very dark skin tones (higher pigmentation risk), recent tanning, certain medications (Accutane, photosensitizers), and active skin infections are contraindications.

Can IPL treat all skin types?

IPL works best on fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III). Darker skin types require specialized settings or alternative treatments to avoid pigmentation issues.

When will I see results?

Improvement appears 1-2 weeks after each session as treated pigment flakes off. Full results become apparent after completing the recommended treatment series.

How long do results last?

With consistent sun protection (SPF 30+ daily), results can last years. Annual or twice-yearly maintenance sessions help preserve improvements and address new sun damage.
