The winter months can leave your skin looking dull and uneven, but with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, you can refresh and rejuvenate your complexion. IPL is a versatile treatment that addresses common skin concerns, such as sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. Here’s how IPL works and why it’s a must-have for your winter skincare routine.
How Does IPL Work?
IPL uses light energy to target pigmentation and vascular irregularities beneath the skin’s surface. The light penetrates deep layers of the skin, breaking down dark spots and promoting collagen production. Over time, your skin appears brighter, smoother, and more youthful.
Dermatologist Tip: IPL is most effective when done in a series of treatments. Your dermatologist will work with you to customize a treatment plan that suits your skin type and goals.
Benefits of IPL
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During an IPL session, you may feel a mild snapping sensation as the light pulses are delivered. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red, but this typically resolves within a day. You’ll start seeing results within a few weeks as your skin’s tone and texture improve.
Dermatologist Tip: Winter is an ideal time for IPL since your skin is less exposed to the sun, reducing the risk of pigmentation complications post-treatment.
