How it works
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses light energy to heat the upper layers of skin. The targeted areas then absorb this heat to stimulate the cell regeneration process, creating a renewed and glowing appearance from the very first treatment. The light-based technology triggers cell regeneration, making results visible from the first treatment.

PREPARATION
- Avoid sunbathing, solariums and fake tan for 2 weeks before your treatment. Not suitable for clients who are pregnant and breast feeding.
- Avoid active skincare products containing cosmeceutical retinol, topical Vitamin A or hydroquinone for three days beforehand.
Cosmetic aesthetics clients should leave two weeks between their last treatment and laser treatment.
AFTERCARE
1. Avoid Rubbing or Scratching Your Skin
Some patients may experience mild redness or tenderness after treatment. Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area to allow your skin to heal naturally and enhance results.
2. Refrain from Applying Makeup
Because the skin is more sensitive after treatment, applying foundation, powders, or other makeup may increase irritation. Some cosmetic products can also clog pores and slow recovery. Avoid makeup for a few days to allow the skin to heal and regenerate.
3. Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Cold medical or gentle hydrating sheet masks may be applied starting the first evening (at least 4 hours post-treatment). Use them nightly for one week to help calm and soothe the skin.
4. Gently Cleanse Your Skin
Cleanse your face with cool or lukewarm water using a gentle, oil-free cleanser. Avoid exfoliating products, scrubs, or vigorous washing. Gentle cleansing supports faster recovery and helps maintain skin balance after your IPL treatment.
5. First Week – What to Avoid
- Avoid exfoliation, chemical peels, or active skincare products (such as AHAs, BHAs, or Retinol).
- Avoid other energy-based treatments such as laser or RF.
- Avoid harsh or irritating skincare formulations.
6. First 72 Hours – What to Avoid
- No alcohol consumption.
- No swimming.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms.
- Avoid intense exercise or any activity that causes heavy sweating.
- Pause the use of Vitamin C or other active skincare products.
7. Don’t Skip Sun Protection
Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily. UV rays can increase the risk of skin irritation and reduce treatment results. Consistent sun protection is essential for maintaining your IPL outcome.
