Frequently asked Questions:
What is the treatment like?
IPL treatments are non-invasive and safe, with absolutely no down time. A broad band of light is absorbed by the melanin pigment, causing it to darken and exfoliate over a few days.
Is the treatment painful?
Cool gel is applied to the areas to be treated which helps in gliding the IPL hand piece smoothly over the skin. The light from the hand piece is perceived by most people as a gentle "snapping" sensation, causing little to no discomfort. How many treatments are needed?
Depending on the area and the concentration of the pigment, the length of treatment may vary. A good assessment can be given after the consultation.
Are IPL treatments safe?
Yes IPL treatments are very safe and there have been no reported cases of blistering, scarring or burning. |
