The Treatment

How IPL
Works on Skin.

Intense pulsed light uses a broad spectrum of wavelengths to break up pigment and reduce visible redness without damaging the surface of your skin. Over the next few days, your tone looks clearer and more even.

  1. 01

    Consultation & Mapping

    We assess your skin tone, history, and goals, then map your treatment areas.

  2. 02

    Light, Layered Gently

    We work over each area with calibrated pulses of light. You'll feel warmth, not pain.

  3. 03

    Renewal Over Days

    Pigment darkens and lifts away over 7–10 days while the skin heals.

Recommended Plan

Three Treatments,
Four Weeks Apart.

We recommend three IPL sessions spaced about four weeks apart, then one or two maintenance visits per year.

Visit One · Week 0

Foundation Session

The deepest pigment starts to lift first. It darkens slightly before it sheds.

Visit Two · Week 4

Tone Evens

Mid-depth pigment and broken capillaries start to fade.

Visit Three · Week 8

Refinement

The last session of the series evens out your tone and brightens your skin, and the result holds.

Maintenance · Seasonal

Preserving the Results

One or two visits per year to maintain your results.

Before & After Your Visit

Your Prep
and Aftercare.

What to do in the weeks before your visit and the days after it.

01 · Before

PreparingYour Skin.

In the four weeks leading up to your visit.

  • Avoid sun & self-tanner.For four weeks before your visit. An active tan or burn delays your appointment.

  • Pause active ingredients.Retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and benzoyl peroxide for 5–7 days before.

  • Arrive bare-faced.Clean skin only. No makeup, sunscreen, or moisturizer on treatment areas.

  • Disclose recent medications.Tell us about antibiotics, isotretinoin in the last 6 months, and any photosensitizing prescriptions.

02 · After

AfterYour Session.

In the 7–10 days following each session.

  • Wear sunscreen daily.Broad-spectrum SPF 30+, every day. Skipping it will undo the treatment.

  • Gentle cleansers only.Skip exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients for five days.

  • Cool down 24 hours.No hot water, saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous workouts the day of.

  • Let pigment shed naturally.Spots may darken before they lift. Don't pick or scrub. The process takes 7–10 days.

Questions We Hear Often

You'll Want
To Know

If your question isn't here, bring it to your consultation. We're happy to take the time to answer it.

IPL is best suited to lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). Every consultation includes a skin-tone evaluation and a small test pulse on your first visit. If we don't think it's safe for your skin, we won't proceed.

Most clients say it feels like a warm rubber band snapping against the skin. Each pulse is brief, and we can use cooling if you'd like.

Very little, if any. You may have mild redness for a few hours. After that, the treated pigment darkens for 7 to 10 days before it sheds. You can wear makeup the next day.

You'll see some brightening within 7 to 14 days of your first session. The full effect (more even tone, less pigment and less redness) builds over the series of three.

Results last for years if you're careful about sun protection. Most clients come back for one or two maintenance sessions a year.

We mostly schedule IPL from fall through early spring, because treating tanned skin isn't safe or effective. If you've had too much sun, we'll reschedule your appointment.
