FAQ
How does an IPL laser work and how does it differ from other laser treatments?
An IPL laser (Intense Pulsed Light) works with high-energy light, which is emitted onto the skin in short pulses. The light is absorbed by certain pigments in the tissue and converted into heat. As a result, unwanted pigment changes, redness and vascular lesions are treated in a targeted manner. Compared to other lasers, IPL technology enables a wider range of applications and effective treatment of various skin problems.
How safe and effective is IPL treatment?
IPL treatment is safe and effective when performed by an experienced and qualified professional. The procedure has been thoroughly researched and is widely used in medical aesthetics. The advanced technology of the Lumenis M22-Stellar ensures a precise and controlled delivery of light energy to gently treat the skin and achieve optimal results.
How many IPL treatments are required and how long does it take for results to become visible?
The number of IPL treatments required varies depending on individual skin needs and the problem to be treated. As a rule, several sessions at intervals of a few weeks are required to achieve optimal results. The first results may be visible after the first treatment, but the full effect develops over the course of the treatment series. A professional skin analysis and consultation with an experienced doctor or specialist is important to create a customized treatment plan.
How often does the treatment have to be repeated?
Up to three repeat treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired result. However, it should be noted that the treatments should generally only be repeated once a year.
