How many treatments of IPL does one require?
Well, there is nothing in all of cosmetic medicine that is ever cured in a single session. So all individuals require multiple session- usually anywhere from 6-12 and the richer you look, the more the sessions you will be prescribed or more cosmetic procedures will be recommended. For those with little money, few sessions can be arranged. For the individuals who undergo few sessions, it is claimed that IPL will gradually limit the amount of hair growing in future.
When do the repeat sessions take place?
Because hair grow in cycles, most physicians recommend that one wait 4-6 weeks to repeat the next cycle of IPL treatments
How long is each IPL session?
Generally, not long. The five hairs on the upper lip may only take 2-3 minutes but the groin or the leg can take an hour.
Does IPL have any side effects?
Yes, definitely. Most individuals do develop redness and swelling from where the hair was treated. These side effects are transient and disappear in a few hours. When the area treated is small, the individual can return back to work or their life style on the same day.
However, when large areas of body area are treated, one may develop a fair degree of discomfort and blistering. This may take a few days to resolve. So you stay at home for a 2-5 days.
Does IPL have any complications?
You bet. Some individuals do develop either excessive darkening or lightening of the skin. Some of these skin discolorations may return to normal but not in every case. Sometimes, these changes are permanent. Some dark skinned individuals also develop keloids which are worse looking the hair and even more difficult to treat.
Does IPL remove hair from all skin types?
Well, the physicians who perform the procedure say yes but many patients who have had the procedure say no
When does one see results after IPL treatment?
Some hair may fall off at the time of treatment but in most cases, the dead hair starts to fall in 7-14 days
