What To Expect: At It Is Well Healthcare the patient is our top priority therefore each patient is scheduled for a consultation where we assess your specific needs. Before we begin your IPL treatment your face will be cleansed and properly prepped. You will be given proper eyewear to protect your eyes from the light flashes. The IPL is a handheld device that we glide over the areas of concern. The pain level is very tolerable, feels like a small pinch. Typical sessions take 15-30 minutes. The total number of treatment sessions will vary depending on the patient’s aesthetic goals.
Recovery & Results: Some individuals may experience temporary discoloration and skin flaking for a few days. Others may feel like they have mild sunburn. It is important to avoid direct sun exposure for a few weeks following treatment. Results can be seen approximately two weeks after your treatment and will be fully apparent in about 3 to 4 months.
