Is an IPL Photofacial Right for You?

IPL light is absorbed by pigment in brown spots and by the red color in small blood vessels, which is why it is used for spots and redness. It is generally recommended for light to medium skin tones. You may want to ask about IPL if you:
  • Have sun spots, age spots or freckles (hyperpigmentation) on your face
  • Notice facial redness or small visible blood vessels
  • Want a more even-looking skin tone and have not tanned recently

When to Wait or Choose Another Treatment

Because IPL targets pigment, it is not right for every skin type or every situation. Medical guidance advises waiting on IPL, or choosing a different treatment, if you:
  • Have a recent tan from the sun or a tanning bed
  • Are pregnant
  • Take certain medicines, such as isotretinoin, or have an active skin infection in the area
  • Have melasma or a darker skin tone, since IPL can cause dark spots or make discoloration worse
Tell your provider about your skin history, recent sun exposure and every medicine you take, so they can decide whether IPL suits your skin. If a spot is new or changing, have it checked before any cosmetic treatment.

Your First IPL Visit in Manteno

Consultation:
Start with a skin consultation. Your provider looks at the spots or redness you want to treat, asks about your skin history, sun exposure and medicines, and explains whether IPL suits your skin. In the weeks before treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning and skin care products that make your skin more sensitive.
Treatment:
You wear protective eyewear, a cool gel is applied to the skin, and the handpiece delivers quick pulses of light. The feeling is often compared to the snap of a rubber band. A session usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area.
After Your Visit:
Skin may look pink or a little swollen for a few hours, and brown spots often darken before they flake away over the next few days. Protect the area from the sun and use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Results build over a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
