Intense Pulsed Light

At Better You Beauty in Swanzey, NH, we offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, a versatile and effective treatment to address a variety of skin concerns, including pigmentation issues, unwanted hair, and skin rejuvenation.

Reveal Your Best Skin with IPL Treatment

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat multiple skin concerns at once. IPL addresses issues like sun damage, pigmentation, rosacea, and unwanted hair. The light pulses penetrate the skin at various depths, targeting melanin, hemoglobin, and other chromophores to reduce discoloration and stimulate collagen production.

Unlike traditional lasers, IPL can treat a range of skin conditions simultaneously, making it highly effective for a personalized treatment plan. Sessions are quick, typically lasting between 20 to 60 minutes, with minimal downtime and lasting results after multiple sessions.

Understanding the IPL Process

The IPL therapy process begins with a thorough skin consultation to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. During each session, a handheld IPL device emits light pulses that penetrate your skin at varying depths, depending on your treatment needs. For pigmentation concerns, the light targets melanin, breaking down dark spots. For vascular issues, it targets hemoglobin to reduce redness. The procedure typically lasts between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Multiple sessions are usually required for optimal results, with treatments spaced several weeks apart. You may experience mild redness or warmth immediately following the treatment, which usually resolves within a few hours. IPL therapy is versatile, as it can be customized for various concerns and combined with other treatments, like chemical peels or microdermabrasion, for enhanced results. With consistent sessions, you’ll see visible improvements in skin texture and tone.

IPL Care Tips & Results

After your IPL therapy session, it’s important to follow specific aftercare instructions to maximize the treatment’s effectiveness. First, avoid sun exposure and apply a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin. You may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours. It’s also essential to avoid harsh skincare products like retinoids and exfoliants for a few days.

For the best results, continue to follow your skincare routine with gentle, hydrating products. Over the next few weeks, you will notice an improvement in pigmentation, skin texture, and a reduction in redness. Several sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, are necessary to achieve optimal results. IPL therapy provides long-lasting benefits when combined with proper aftercare, such as daily sunscreen application and skin hydration.
