Comman FAQ's with IPL;

Why are multiple treatments necessary?
Depending on the number of conditions you are treating, and the severity of the individual problem,a series of four to six treatment sessions may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activities. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk - and, it preserves the wonderful “no down time” feature that people appreciate so much.

How is Photorejuvenation performed?
A cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light.
The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied. You may feel a slight hot pinch, like the snapping of a small rubber band. An anesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required.
Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction.
Each treatment takes about 20-30 minutes.

How does IPL remove hair?
Highly controlled flashes of light are selectively absorbed by hair-filled follicles lying below the surface of the skin. The absorbed light heats the hair, which damages or destroys the regrowth potential of the follicle. All without damaging the surrounding tissue.

What does the treatment feel like?
Each pulse of light feels like a slight sting or pinch, similar to the snap of a rubber band. No local anesthesia is required and most people tolerate the treatment well.

What happens during a treatment?
Your treatment begins by trimming away the hair above the skin. You may be asked to wear dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light.
Next, a cold gel (similar to ultrasound gel) may be spread over the treatment area.
The IPL handpiece is then applied to your skin and pulses of light begin disabling your unwanted hair.
When the gel is removed, much of the hair is wiped off with it. The remaining hair in the treated area falls out over the next week or two.

Is IPL safe for all skin types?
IPL is the first photoepilation procedure proven to effectively treat unwanted hair on all skin types, including dark-skinned individuals such as those of Black, Hispanic and Asian descent.

Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. You may experience some slight reddening or local swelling at the treatment site, but this typically goes away within hours. On rare occasions, some blistering or bruising may occur, but typically resolves quickly. Also, the skin can become darker or lighter following treatment, but will generally return to normal within a few weeks. Limiting sun exposure before and after each treatment will minimize the risk of complications.
Following the treatment, you can generally return to work and resume all regular activities immediately.
