Each time the pulses of light are delivered to your skin you will feel a mild and temporary stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. This sensation will dissipate quickly. Your experienced medical provider will take necessary measures to decrease any discomfort you may feel.
Intense Pulsed Light therapy is very safe when performed by trained medical providers. It is not, however, appropriate for all skin types. Because the laser works by sending wavelengths of light through the skin to target pigment, patients that are deeply tanned or have skin of color are generally not considered appropriate candidates. You can discuss this with your medical provider at the time of your consultation and other treatment plans can be recommended to arrive at the same results, safely. It is also important to note that if you have had sun exposure or used a tanning bed within a 4 week period pre or post treatment, you risk possible pigment changes or blistering.
During the treatment, expect a bright light followed by a mild and temporary stinging sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. This sensation will dissipate quickly and your provider will take necessary measures to decrease any discomfort you may feel. Following treatment you can resume your daily activities immediately. Pigmented spots will usually darken and eventually flake off, however, they should not affect your work or social schedule.
We usually recommend 4 to 6 treatments, spaced 3 to 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Results are seen gradually after each treatment. You will see results after the first and subsequent treatments.
Once desired results are achieved, we usually recommend patients follow a tailored skin care regimen to protect and prevent additional damage. Since damage lies deep within the skin and doesn’t all come to the surface at the same time, maintenance treatments may be needed for new spots that appear. Many patients choose to select a maintenance plan that includes treatments every 6 months as a spring and fall clean up.
