What Are the Benefits of Lumenis IPL?
Lumenis® IPL offers a powerful, yet gentle, solution for restoring and refreshing your skin. It can be effective at treating a variety of concerns, including:
- Sun damage and age spots
- Uneven skin tone and discoloration
- Redness and rosacea
- Broken capillaries and vascular lesions
This treatment also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time. Lumenis® IPL can be safe for various skin types and used on areas such as the face, neck, chest, and hands. With a series of treatments, patients often enjoy long-lasting results and a noticeably revitalized complexion.
Who Is a Candidate for Lumenis IPL Treatment?
Ideal candidates for Lumenis® IPL treatment are often individuals with light to medium skin tones who want to improve skin clarity, tone, and texture. This treatment is generally well-suited for those in good overall health who are not pregnant and do not have active skin infections or certain medical conditions.
Patients with tanned or darker skin may not be ideal candidates due to a higher risk of pigmentation changes. During your consultation, the aesthetician will evaluate your skin type and discuss aesthetic goals to determine if Lumenis® IPL is the right solution for you.
How Is Lumenis IPL Treatment Performed?
Lumenis® IPL treatment is performed using a handheld device that emits pulses of broad-spectrum light to target pigment and vascular irregularities beneath the skin’s surface. The process begins with a gentle cleansing of the treatment area, followed by the application of a cooling gel to enhance comfort and improve light transmission.
The device is then moved across the skin, delivering precise flashes of light. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild snap, similar to a light rubber band. Treatment sessions typically take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area. In most cases, there is little to no downtime required, making it easy to return to normal activities shortly after your appointment.
How Long Do Lumenis IPL Results Last?
Lumenis® IPL results can be long lasting as long as the prescribed maintenance treatments are performed, depending on your skin type, the condition treated, and your skin care routine. Many patients begin to notice improvement after just a few sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after three to five treatments.
To maintain your results, it’s important to use sunscreen daily and follow a personalized skin care plan. Periodic maintenance treatments every six to twelve months can help preserve your more refreshed, even-toned appearance. We will recommend a tailored schedule to support long-term results.
