Cure after IPL treatment varies from person to person, but in most cases, it takes less than a week and only 2 to 3 days for the effects to be visible. For the best results, we recommend that our patients undergo 5 IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. With proper skin care and sun protection, the results of IPL treatments can last for years. It is impossible to avoid all sun exposure, and therefore, even with the best care and protection of the skin, new brown spots may appear gradually over time.
To ensure long-lasting results, it is important to follow a sufficient skincare routine and use sun protection. IPL is most often used on the face, neck and chest as these are usually the parts of the body that are most often exposed to the sun. However, IPL can also be used on other areas such as arms and legs. You don't have to look far for great dermatology services including IPL therapy and other cosmetic treatments.
Patients with diverse skin needs may find IPL to be an excellent treatment for addressing all of these issues while improving skin health and appearance. You will see the best results after 3 to 6 months if you do a series of IPL treatments with an interval of about one month for each session. The success of treatment largely depends on the skill and experience of the person performing IPL therapy. IPL treatments work very well to reduce and remove brown and red spots on the skin and create a better overall complexion. Treatments are usually performed on the facial area, although patients can also use IPL to treat skin on the chest, hands, and neck.
This is because skin cells change once approximately every 30 days, giving the skin a chance to fully recover before the next IPL treatment. These are other guidelines that your dermatologist will recommend you follow to get the best possible results from your IPL treatments:
- Follow a sufficient skincare routine
- Use sun protection
- Undergo a series of IPL treatments with an interval of about one month for each session
