IPL is effective for sun damage, age spots, freckles, redness, broken capillaries, rosacea, uneven skin tone, fine lines, acne, and hair reduction.

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or light pinch—similar to a rubber band against the skin. Discomfort is minimal, and the treatment is well tolerated.

Most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart for optimal, lasting results.

You may notice temporary redness, mild swelling, or darkening of pigment spots for a few days. These effects fade as your skin naturally heals and rejuvenates.

No, but your skin may be sun-sensitive and need a little extra care. Avoid sun exposure, wear SPF 30 or higher, and skip intense exercise, heat, or harsh products for 48 hours.

Initial improvements can be seen within a week, especially for pigment correction. Full results continue to develop over 4–6 weeks and improve with each session.

IPL works best on lighter skin tones. During your consultation, we’ll determine whether Spectrum IPL is the right treatment for your skin type and goals.

Side effects are rare but may include mild redness, swelling, or temporary darkening of treated spots. Most resolve on their own within days.
