IPL

Do IPL Photofacials hurt?


Most patients find IPL Photofacials very tolerable, describing the sensation as a quick snap of a rubber band against the skin followed by a feeling of warmth. Because it is a minimally invasive treatment, any discomfort is brief and manageable. The advanced technology we use is designed to maximize results while keeping the experience as comfortable as possible. Afterward, your skin may feel slightly sensitive or look a little flushed, but these effects fade quickly and you can return to your daily routine without downtime.


What does IPL feel like during treatment?

Patients usually feel a quick, light snap on the skin with each pulse of light.

Is numbing cream used for IPL?

Most patients do not need numbing cream, but your clinician will ensure you are comfortable throughout the session.

What should I expect after treatment?

Temporary redness or mild sensitivity is normal and fades within a few hours to a few days.
