Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Face IPL.

Most clients report mild stinging similar to a rubber band snap; topical numbing is available. Treatments are brief and performed by trained technicians. We review your history, perform a test patch, and explain sensations so you know what to expect.

Individual needs vary, but most people need six to ten sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart for full-face coverage, depending on hair density and skin response. We'll customize a plan during consultation.

IPL works best on contrast between hair and skin but modern devices treat a range of tones. A consultation and patch test determine safety; darker skin may require adjusted settings or alternate methods to avoid complications.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, certain skincare products, and hair removal methods like waxing for two to four weeks before treatment. Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, sunscreen, and avoiding heat treatments until skin calms.

Fine vellus hair may respond more slowly; many clients see permanent reduction but some peach fuzz can persist. Multiple sessions improve results, and we evaluate expectations during consultation to plan realistic outcomes.

Temporary redness, swelling, or mild irritation are common and resolve within days. Rare side effects include pigment changes or blistering; risk is minimized with screening, proper settings, and experienced technicians.
