You can enjoy smooth and even-toned skin without extended recovery time or the expense of surgery.
During a consultation at Quiet Waters Medical Esthetics, you will receive a comprehensive treatment plan. This plan will outline your specific cosmetic concerns in the treatment area, the number of sessions needed, and detailed instructions about preparing your skin before Intense Pulsed Light. Our team can also help you schedule your appointments ahead of time and get you ready for your first session.
Intense Pulsed Light Before Treatment
To enhance your results and protect your skin, we highly recommend the following steps:
- Use a moisturizer with 30+ SPF to protect your skin from sun exposure
- Stop any medications that may cause excess bleeding
- Discontinue antibiotics (if advised by your general physician)
- Avoid retinoids that cause skin sensitivity
- Drink water before and after your treatment
On the day of your procedure, do not wear makeup or other skin care products. Our team will provide a more comprehensive list before your IPL session, but please let us know if you have any questions during your assessment.
Intense Pulsed Light During Treatment
Treatments are quick and usually take about 30-60 minutes.
We begin by cleaning the treatment area. A technician will then dry your skin and place protective goggles over your eyes. Once you feel ready, we move our cooling handpiece over the area of concern so the surrounding skin remains protected. You may feel a little flash of heat and slight discomfort throughout the treatment, but this is temporary. The great news is that there is no downtime or peeling with our Intense Pulsed Light. You can wear makeup immediately after your visit.
Who is a good candidate for IPL?
While IPL is a very versatile and effective procedure, it may not be the best fit for every person and condition. For instance, Intense Pulsed Light is not recommended on very dark or tan skin. During your consultation, we'll discuss if IPL therapy is the right path for you to reach your goals.
If you have questions about how Intense Pulsed Light can help you get younger-looking skin, we invite you to schedule a consultation and see some of our before and after photos. We'll work with you to create a customized treatment plan that will help you reach the healthy, youthful glow you desire!
