A Walkthrough of Your Treatment
When undergoing an IPL photofacial at Contour Laser, your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure suitability and address any concerns. Once prepped, your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A cooling gel is then applied to safeguard and enhance light penetration. Protective eyewear is provided to shield your eyes from the intense light. The IPL device is meticulously adjusted to suit your skin type and treatment objectives.
Using a handheld device, our practitioner administers controlled pulses of light, targeting pigment or blood vessels in the deeper layers of your skin. You may experience a mild, snapping sensation akin to a rubber band snap, although some devices incorporate cooling mechanisms for comfort. Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, ensuring precise application of intense pulsed light to the targeted areas of your skin.
How to prepare your skin before the treatment
Preparing your skin before an IPL photofacial at Contour Laser Medi Spa is crucial for optimal results. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and tanning beds in the weeks leading up to your treatment is essential, as it can increase the risk of complications. Additionally, refrain from using certain skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, which can make your skin more sensitive to the intense pulsed light.
Following any specific instructions provided by us ensures your skin is in the best condition for the procedure. With proper preparation, you can enhance the effectiveness of the IPL photofacial and minimize the risk of adverse reactions, ensuring a safe and successful treatment experience.
