What to Expect?

Patients are made comfortable with ice packs to cool and soothe the skin.  After your IPL procedure, you may notice the brown pigment getting a bit more pronounced for a couple days, forming a slight crust on the surface. This is the pigment breaking up! Within a few short days the brown and red will appear lighter and your complexion with become clearer and more uniform.
