About IPL Therapy
IPL is a cosmetic laser treatment that uses intense pulsed light to improve your skin's texture, tone, and overall appearance. It offers more youthful, clearer, healthier-looking skin without harsh treatments, pain, or downtime.
How IPL Targets the Skin
IPL treatment works by passing light waves through the top skin layers, heating pigmented cells and destroying them. It also reduces visible veins by causing blood to thicken in vessel walls, making tiny veins fade over time.
The Benefits of IPL Therapy
IPL therapy can result in clearer skin, an even skin tone, reduced wrinkles, fewer age spots, younger-looking skin, reduced blood vessel issues, less rosacea, diminished melasma, reduced port-wine stains, and fewer freckles. The NY Partners Dermatology team may apply IPL treatment to the face, neck, chest, hands, or other areas showing signs of aging or imperfections.
IPL Candidacy
The NY Partners Dermatology team determines if IPL is right for you after discussing your concerns, medical history, and goals. They examine the skin on your face and body and let you know what to expect before tailoring your treatment plan. To prepare for treatment, protect your skin from the sun and avoid sunless tanning creams or other cosmetic treatments.
The IPL Treatment Process
During IPL treatment, your specialist cleans the area and applies a cooling gel to maximize comfort. You wear protective eyewear while the device emits light energy into targeted tissues. You may feel a rubber band snapping sensation. Each treatment typically lasts about 20 to 30 minutes.
Recovery and Results
After treatment, your skin may be slightly swollen, sensitive, and red, similar to a mild sunburn. You can resume typical daily activities immediately. Most patients need three to six sessions or more, spaced over time, to achieve optimal results.
