What is the IPL Photofacial, and How Does it Work?

IPL photorejuvenation uses a specialized handheld device to deliver pulses of broad-spectrum light to the skin. It’s commonly used to address skin concerns such as sun damage, age spots, wrinkles, freckles, redness, uneven skin tone, acne, and scars.

During an IPL treatment, the doctor or esthetician will clean your skin and apply a cool gel on it. After this, they’ll use the IPL device to target pulses of high-intensity light to the problem area. This light energy targets what is known as chromophores in the skin, such as melanin (pigment) or hemoglobin (red blood cells). They absorb the light energy and convert it into heat which breaks down pigmentation, stimulates collagen production, and promotes the regeneration of healthier skin cells.

IPL photofacials take 15 to 30 minutes and usually cause a mild sensation of warmth or a slight snapping feeling during the treatment. You may see bright flashes of light during your treatment — which is totally normal. There’s no downtime needed, although you may experience temporary swelling and redness.

Multiple sessions every few weeks are recommended to achieve the best possible results and the number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of your skin concerns.

IPL Hair Removal FAQs

What is IPL Hair Removal and how does it work?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and reduce hair growth. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.

IPL emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. The light is converted to heat, which damages the follicles and slows or stops hair growth.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness, swelling, or hyperpigmentation. In rare cases, burns or blistering can occur, especially in darker skin tones. Always consult with a professional to minimize risks.

How many treatments will I need?

Most people require 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number of sessions depends on your hair type, skin tone, and the area being treated.

Does IPL hair removal hurt?

The sensation during IPL treatment is often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some people experience mild discomfort, but most find the treatment tolerable. Numbing creams can be used to minimize discomfort.

Can IPL be used on all areas of the body?

Yes, IPL can be used on most areas of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back. However, it is not recommended for areas with very thin or delicate skin, such as around the eyes.

What does it feel like?

During the brief duration of the treatments, patients typically describe the sensation as similar to a small rubber band snap, though not painful. Patients generally tolerate the procedure very well, as we initiate the energy at a conservative level, allowing them to adapt comfortably.

Is IPL hair removal permanent?

IPL hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth, but it may not be completely permanent. Maintenance sessions may be needed to keep the treated areas hair-free over time.

What should I do before an IPL session?

Before your IPL session, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and waxing for at least 4 weeks. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment, and avoid applying lotions, deodorants, or makeup to the area.

What should I expect after an IPL treatment?

After an IPL session, you may experience redness or slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours. It's important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area.

Who is a good candidate for IPL hair removal?

IPL works best on individuals with light skin and dark hair. Those with very dark skin or very light, red, or gray hair may not be ideal candidates. A consultation with a professional can help determine if IPL is right for you.
