What to Expect

During Treatment

Cooling gel is applied; the handpiece passes over the skin for ~5–10 minutes per area. Mild warmth/snaps are common.

Afterward

No downtime for most; transient redness/swelling may occur. Dark spots often darken (“pepper”) then flake in ~5–7 days.

Maintenance

Results can last a year+ with sun protection; many choose seasonal or annual touch-ups.

Prep & Aftercare

  • Avoid sun/tanning and self-tanners several weeks pre/post
  • Pause retinoids/strong acids ~1 week prior (we’ll advise)
  • Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential post-treatment
  • Do not pick/exfoliate darkened spots—let them shed naturally

Am I a Candidate?

  • Works best on untanned skin; settings tailored to skin type
  • Not ideal for very deep wrinkles or severe sun damage (consider laser resurfacing)
  • We’ll customize a plan for face, neck, chest, hands & more

IPL/BBL FAQs

What conditions does BBL treat?

Brown spots, freckles, melasma, rosacea, redness, acne, and small vessels on many body areas.

How many sessions will I need?

Commonly 3–5 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart; yearly maintenance helps prolong results.

How should I prepare?

Avoid tanning, waxing, peels, and strong actives (retinol/glycolic) as directed before treatment.

Is there downtime?

Minimal for most—makeup can be worn the same day. Expect temporary darkening of spots before they flake.

Are there risks?

Rarely, burn-like reactions or pigment changes can occur. Proper candidacy and settings minimize risk.
