What to Expect

Our Intense Pulsed Light Therapy Process

Step 1:

At Smart Skin Med Spa, we carefully customize and tailor every treatment to ensure meaningful results for each client. Your success is our top priority, so we take the time to get to know you and learn how we can help.

In order to customize your treatment, we must carefully review your medical history and gain a deep understanding of your individual aesthetic preferences. To facilitate this, you’ll meet with an experienced provider for a 30-minute initial consultation prior to your first IPL session.

Step 2:

If IPL therapy is the right treatment for you, we can get started then or schedule your session for another day. Either way, IPL therapy takes place in one of our clean and comfortable treatment rooms.

Before using the IPL device on your treatment area, the first step is to sanitize and prep your skin. Your provider then uses advanced controlled pulses and contact cooling techniques to deliver a personalized and comfortable treatment.

Step 3:

IPL therapy typically lasts around 30 minutes, and after the session, most patients feel comfortable resuming their regular activities. Some mild redness may occur after your treatment, but it should fade away quickly.

Step 4:

Upon completing your IPL treatment, your provider will give you a set of instructions for post-treatment care to optimize the results. While IPL photofacials may not show immediate results, you should notice improvements in about a week.
