DURING YOUR IPL TREATMENT

As you arrive at the treatment room and depending on the area being treated, you may be asked to change out of your clothing. Where needed we provide you with a fresh towel gown, single use personal wet cloth and hygienic disposable G-string. Most of accessories in Laser, Skin and Wellness clinic are DISPOSABLE, SINGLE-USE solutions.

Your will need to lie or sit down and will be given protective eye wear which you need to have on during the treatment.

Skin on the area to be treated is then carefully prepared and a special gel (same as the one used for scans) is applied. (NOTE: Gel serves several purposes. Although it is not necessary to use it with our equipment , we find that when gel is used better results are achieved). IPL hand piece is then placed onto the skin and flashes of light are delivered to the required area as the hand piece is moved within the marked region.

The degree of discomfort varies with each person depending on his/her pain threshold. Most people perceive the treatment as a gentle snapping (similar to that of a rubber band). You will be given a chance to experience the feeling for yourself during the free consultation.

The appearance of the area treated immediately after the session may vary greatly on an individual basis. Within several minutes to several hours after the session, the treated area may become slightly red and/or puffy. This quickly disappears and you can return to your normal duties immediately.
