If you dream of clearer, more even skin, an IPL treatment may be your ticket to a radiant complexion. At Ona Skincare, we perform intense pulsed light therapy in East Nashville. This noninvasive procedure targets sun damage, age spots, and redness, taking your skin from blemished to brilliant!
From your first appointment to your post-treatment glow, here’s what you can expect.
Step 1: Consultation
During your consultation, we examine your skin, discuss your goals, and determine whether IPL therapy can help you meet your goals. Rest assured that if IPL isn’t the ideal choice, we offer a range of skin rejuvenation treatments.
Step 2: Preparation
To get the most out of your IPL treatment, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for a week before your appointment. We also recommend you pause use of any retinoids or strong exfoliants for a few days prior. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your treatment.
Step 3: Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
During your IPL session, your provider applies a cooling gel and provides protective eyewear. Next, they begin delivering light pulses that feel like quick, warm snaps. Treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.
Step 4: Recovery
After treatment, your skin may look slightly red and feel warm, like it might after a mild sunburn. Areas of unwanted pigmentation can darken before flaking off. For optimal healing, keep your skin clean, use sunscreen, and avoid sweating. Visible improvements develop gradually over 3 to 5 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
Step 5: Results & Maintenance
To maintain your results, schedule follow-up IPL treatments every 6 to 12 months. Pair these sessions with a daily routine of SPF and antioxidant-rich skincare to protect and nourish your complexion long term.
