IPL, or intense pulsed light, therapy is a noninvasive treatment that uses lightly scattered light wavelengths to treat skin imperfections and conditions.
IPL therapy is similar to laser therapy. The main difference between the two is their use of wavelengths. Unlike IPL therapy, laser therapy uses focused laser light wavelengths. This results in a more heavy duty treatment with more potential to damage the skin. IPL therapy is much gentler.
At Laser Touch Medical Clinic, Dr. Hakimian uses IPL therapy to treat skin imperfections and conditions such as:
He can also use IPL therapy to remove unwanted hair.
Before beginning treatment, Dr. Hakimian cleans the treatment area and applies a cooling gel. Next, you wear a pair of dark glasses to protect your eyes.
To administer the IPL light, Dr. Hakimian presses a handheld Venus Versa™ applicator against your skin. The Venus Versa applicator allows for extreme precision and consistent energy delivery via its SmartPulse™ technology.
During IPL treatment, the cooling gel protects your body from intense heat. You may experience some slight stinging, but no intense pain. IPL treatment generally takes about half an hour.
After treatment, you can return to your day. However, to avoid skin irritation, refrain from washing your treated skin with hot water until your skin heals. You may experience temporary side effects, including:
If you have any concerns after treatment, reach out to Dr. Hakimian.

By avoiding these for two weeks before your IPL therapy appointment, you lower your risk for skin irritation and infection.
