It depends on the area being treated; on average it takes between 20 mins to 1 hour per session.
The advantage of IPL is that it offers multiple wavelengths, unlike laser treatments which use just one at any given time, meaning each pass covers a broader area of the skin, making IPL a quicker method than laser over larger areas, a great choice for you if you’re short on time. You will, however, need to be prepared to have between 5-10 courses of treatment for its full effect to be shown.
When compared to laser treatments, IPL is gentler on the skin and more versatile in treating a broader range of skin tones and hair colours.
Skin becomes more delicate and sensitive with age, providing a less effective barrier against harmful effects and subject to tightness, dryness, and redness. IPL skin rejuvenation treatments induce the underlying dermis to respond as if it’s healing a wound, regenerating the skin with more collagen and elastin. Over the course of a complete treatment, your skin will feel firmer, smoother and with a more even tone. Blemishes, sun damage, age spots, fine lines, and many other problems can be diminished. The biggest advantage of the IPL technology is that treatment includes no downtime or recovery period.
It will take on average 6 treatments (the exact number of treatments varies from person to person and how their dermis responds post treatment). You should be prepared to attend each session no more or less than 4-6 weeks apart to achieve the best results.
All IPL Treatments are subject to a patch test at least 7 days prior to any treatment commencing – this will take approximately 15 minutes and is necessary to establish your suitability and to ensure there are no adverse reactions to the treatment).
