FAQ
-
IPL treatments use intense pulses of light scientifically designed to target and break up pigmented lesions and broken capillaries, which promotes a more even skin tone.
-
Good question! IPL/Photofacial treatments are suitable for individuals with dyschromia, sun damage, or uneven skin tone. That said, a consultation is recommended to assess skin type.
-
Most patients benefit from a series of 3-5 treatments, scheduled every 4-6 weeks, to achieve the best results. But check with your dedicated provider at Catalyst for a personalized recommendation!
-
Side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated area. However, these side effects typically resolve quickly.
-
Downtime from IPL treatments can vary from patient to patient, however most experience a few days of mild or moderate swelling in the area treated, as well as a coffee ground appearance on areas if pigmentation is being targeted. The social downtime after an IPL treatment can be mitigated with tinted sunscreen or makeup a day or two after treatment and typically resolves altogether in about 1-2 weeks.
