What to Expect During Your IPL Treatment
During your IPL treatment at Simply Serene Wellness and Aesthetics, our specialists will first discuss your skin goals and assess whether IPL is right for you. The treatment area will be cleansed, followed by a cooling gel that protects the skin. During the session, you will feel a series of quick, mild pulses as the broad-spectrum light penetrates the skin to target specific concerns, ranging from 30-60 minutes depending on the type of treatment and the treatment area. Afterward, you’ll receive simple aftercare instructions to help protect your skin and optimize results. The treated areas may feel slightly hot or red, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.
