IPL generally has minimal downtime. Mild discomfort, redness, or swelling may occur after treatment, which typically subsides within hours to days. More severe side effects are rare when a qualified professional performs the treatment.
Before IPL, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and certain skincare products as directed by your provider. After treatment, following post-care instructions, including avoiding direct sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen regularly are essential. Your provider will give you specific pre- and post-treatment guidelines.
In an IPL treatment, wear protective eyewear while the practitioner applies a cooling gel to your skin. The IPL device will then be moved across the treatment area, delivering pulses of light. It is common to feel a snapping or warming sensation, which is often compared to the snap of a rubber band. The duration of the treatment typically ranges from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Your provider tailors IPL settings to your skin type and condition. The procedure is generally tolerable, and there’s no downtime. Post-treatment, you might experience minor redness or sensitivity.
