WHAT TO EXPECT?
One of our experienced dermal clinicians will begin by cleansing your skin based on your individual skin profile.
This treatment includes IPL, which generates a lot of heat and collagen stimulation so you can expect discomfort. Your dermal clinician will check in with you to make sure it is tolerable. We will stop for regular breaks to ice to cool your face to make sure you’re comfortable.
Some people do require topical pain relief with the treatment which will be discussed during your treatment planning session.
To finish, your skin will be topped with a non-irritating sun protection product – an absolute must in your skincare routine.
This treatment is not what we would consider a lunchtime treatment, meaning you won’t look exactly the same as when you walked in, your skin may feel sensitive, you will be red, and you will be swollen. Some scabbing is common, so please avoid any picking or scratching. It is also normal for your skin to feel dry after the treatment as your skin’s microbiome readjusts.
Please keep in mind any plans you have as there may be mild side effects over the next 72 hours.
