Visible improvements are often noticeable after each IPL treatment, with optimal results typically appearing about one month after your final session. It’s normal for patients to experience varying levels of improvement after each treatment, as the skin continues to renew and heal. Over time, you’ll see a steady reduction in redness, blotchiness, age spots, and sun spots, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion.

Before undergoing an IPL treatment, patients are typically advised to avoid direct sun exposure and self-tanning products for at least 2–4 weeks prior to their appointment. You may also need to pause the use of certain medications or topical products, such as Retin-A, a few days before treatment. To help minimize inflammation and reduce the risk of bruising, our team may recommend taking ibuprofen or aspirin for about a week leading up to your session. Additionally, it’s important to protect your skin by wearing sunscreen and a hat, as your skin will be more sensitive during this time.

A series of IPL treatments provides the best results, allowing for gradual, natural-looking improvement in your skin’s tone and texture. Each session helps reduce pigmentation, sun spots, and other surface irregularities, while multiple treatments lead to smoother, clearer skin and longer-lasting rejuvenation.
