It Requires Little to No Downtime
Since IPL therapy is a laser treatment, it does not invade the skin, minimizing downtime. That’s different from some other skin treatments, such as chemical peels. Following your IPL treatment, you may experience slight redness or irritation; however, this should subside quickly. Most patients can return to their everyday routines 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
It Can Be Used in Multiple Areas
Unfortunately, skin conditions like hyperpigmentation, rosacea, sun spots, and acne are not confined only to the face, making a suitable treatment option difficult to find.
However, IPL therapy can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, chest, forearms, hands, and more. Plus, it can be combined with other services to achieve more dramatic and noticeable results.
It Can Target Various Skin Concerns
Another advantage for many patients is that IPL therapy can be used to target multiple skin concerns, including:
- Sun damage
- Age spots and signs of aging
- Veins
- Freckles
- Broken capillaries
- Pigmentation
It’s also beneficial for treating rosacea since it can eliminate broken capillaries and improve skin tone, which are some of the most prominent signs of rosacea.
Furthermore, patients struggling with acne can also benefit from IPL therapy. The pulsing light can remove acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. Plus, since it stimulates the skin’s healing properties, it can reduce acne scarring. If you’re interested in using IPL therapy for acne, it’s best to consult with your doctor since you may have to stop taking acne medications.
