Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that harnesses the power of broad-spectrum light to address a variety of skin concerns. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths to target different skin depths, making it a versatile solution for various skin imperfections. Commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, IPL effectively treats sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, broken blood vessels, and even reduces the appearance of fine lines. Ideal candidates for IPL are those seeking to improve skin tone and texture without undergoing invasive procedures. The treatment offers minimal downtime, with most patients returning to their daily activities immediately. Results can be observed after the first session, but a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal outcomes. Over time, patients can expect a more even, radiant, and youthful complexion. If you’re ready to rejuvenate your skin and restore your complexion, schedule your IPL consultation online with ATMA Health in Northridge, CA, today!
Most patients describe the sensation as a light snap or pinch, similar to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin.
While many patients see improvements after just one session, typically, 3-6 treatments spaced a month apart are recommended for best results.
It’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF to protect the treated areas. Mild redness or swelling is normal and usually subsides within a day.
IPL is most effective on lighter skin tones. It’s crucial to consult with a professional to determine if IPL is right for your skin type.
Some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or darkening of pigmented spots. These are generally mild and resolve on their own.
With proper skincare and sun protection, the results of IPL can last for a year or more. Periodic maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.
