IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based treatment that targets pigments in the skin or hair. It uses multiple wavelengths of light to heat and break down hair follicles, dark spots, or vascular lesions while rejuvenating the skin.

Yes, IPL is safe when performed by trained professionals. It is a non-invasive procedure with minimal risks when following pre- and post-treatment guidelines.

IPL is versatile and can treat:


• Unwanted hair removal

• Skin rejuvenation (reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness)

• Hyperpigmentation and age spots

• Rosacea and redness

• Acne and acne scars

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, like a rubber band against the skin. Cooling gels or devices are often used to minimize discomfort.

This depends on the treatment area and your skin type. Typically:


• Hair removal: 6–8 sessions

• Skin rejuvenation or pigmentation 3–5 sessions


Treatments are spaced 4–6 weeks apart for best results.

IPL is most effective on lighter skin tones with dark hair or pigmentation. It may not work as well for very dark or tanned skin due to a higher risk of burns or irritation.



Mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation are common and typically resolve within a day or two. Rare side effects include blistering or pigmentation changes, but these are minimal with proper care.

Avoid sun exposure for at least 1–2 weeks before and after your treatment. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect the treated area and prevent further skin damage.

Avoid sunbathing, tanning beds, or self-tanning products for 2 weeks before.
 

• Shave the treatment area 24 hours prior.
 
• Avoid waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams for 4–6 weeks before.
 
• Stop using retinol or strong exfoliating products a few days prior.

Results vary depending on the treatment. For hair removal, expect noticeable reductions after 3–4 sessions. Skin treatments may show improvements after 1–2 sessions, but full results develop over time.
