IPL Treatment Information

The Consultation and Patch Test

  1.  After we have discussed your medical history, concerns and any questions we will assess the area and shave prior to treatment. Shaving is crucial for an effective result.
  2.  We mark the area with a red marker.
  3.  A gel is applied to the skin to aid light absorption and protect the skin from the heat of treatment.
  4.  The therapist will then determine the correct energy settings and the treatment is performed.

PRE-TREATMENT CARE

It is important that before receiving the IPL treatment you follow the recommended guidelines on the area to be treated
30 days before the treatment…

  • Do not use sun-beds and do not sun bathe
  • Do not use self tanning creams
  • Do not wax, thread or tweeze hair from the area
  • Do not have electrolysis on the area
  • Do not use depilatory creams or bleach the area

 

POST TREATMENT CARE

After the IPL treatment, it is common for the area to feel slightly warm. It is also common to experience some redness, local swelling and mild tenderness. These symptoms may appear immediately or a few days after treatment. The use of 100% Aloe Vera gel is recommended directly after treatment and for a few days if necessary.

For 30 days after treatment…

  • You should avoid exposure to UV light, sun bed/tan
  • SPF 30-50 should be applied when outside. Excessive exposure can cause hypo or hyper pigmentation of the skin.
  • An ice cold compress can be applied if the area feels hot or uncomfortable.
  • You can shave or exfoliate the area 4 days after the treatment to encourage the hairs to shed.
