Description
How does IPL treatment work? Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment uses broadband pulses of light to treat a variety of skin conditions. This procedure is non-invasive and is performed as follows:
- Skin preparation: Cleaning the area to be treated to remove impurities and makeup.
- Protection: Protective goggles are applied to the patient to safeguard the eyes from the light pulses.
- Application: A device emits light pulses that penetrate the skin, treating conditions without damaging the upper layers.
- Sensation during treatment: Patients may experience a slight tingling or warmth, similar to the snap of a rubber band.
Aftercare After an IPL treatment, it is important to follow certain recommendations to maximize results and minimize any risks:
- Avoid sun exposure: The skin will be more sensitive, so it is important to avoid direct sunlight and use broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen.
- Skin care: Keep the skin hydrated with creams recommended by the dermatologist.
Patients usually see significant improvement after the first session, although additional sessions may be required for optimal results. The number of sessions required varies depending on the skin condition and individual goals. BEFORE (Telangiectasias) AFTER BEFORE (Lentils) AFTER
