Your dermatologist will first determine if you are a good candidate for IPL.

A laser device will be held and moved against your skin and the intense pulsed light is pulsed onto the treatment area, you may feel stinging sensation.
Most IPL sessions lasts around 30 minutes.
After the treatment area has been covered, they'll wipe off the gel and apply sunblock.
What results can be expected from IPL ?
You may be able to return to work right away without any noticeable reactions, but expect temporary discoloration or redness of the affected area for a few days.
For darker skin tones, IPL may work, but typically there are better options better such as chemical peels.
