IPL Treatment (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL Treatments are a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. You can count on the latest state-of-the-art laser solutions from Lumenis, the global leader in medical aesthetic products. As one of the most versatile systems in the market, the M22 truly is a system for every one.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure — called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.
The entire treatment typically takes between 35 – 60 minutes to complete and is generally described as being painless.

Treatment
01
IPL uses light energy to target red and brown pigmentation in your skin.
When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of
the condition you’re being treated for.
02
Unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.
03
After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even.
01
When will I see results?
The Lumenis® Optima™ IPL Photorejuvenation treatment works with your skin to remove your imperfections and stimulate collagen and elastic fiber production over a sequence of treatments. Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots may be cleared with as few as 1-2 treatments. Typically 2-6 sessions with 2-4 weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.
02
What can I expect after treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings. The redness will usually disappear within a few hours. In most cases, makeup may be immediately applied, and daily activities can be resumed the very same day. Typically your physician should advise to stay out of direct sun for a few days following the treatment and to apply sun screen.
Expectation
What Should I Expect From an IPL Treatment?
When you undergo an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment at Laser Skin Med Spa, you can expect a safe, non-invasive procedure designed to target various skin concerns like pigmentation, sun damage, and redness. The treatment involves directing pulses of light into the skin, which penetrate the deeper layers to stimulate collagen production and break down unwanted pigments. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap or slight warmth on the skin. Post-treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Results typically improve over multiple sessions, leaving your skin clearer and more even-toned.
