This is a question that we get a lot at our clinic. And it's understandable – after all, IPL is an investment in time and money. But the number of sessions needed for optimal results can vary depending on several factors.
In general, most people will need between 4 and 10 sessions to see significant results from IPL. This may seem like a lot, but it's important to remember that each session builds on the last so that results will become more and more visible with each treatment. This is also what allows the treatments to be safe and have minimal downtime.
Factors that can affect the number of sessions needed include:
The severity of the condition being treated
The size of the treatment area
The patient's skin type
The patient's response to treatment
Our team will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that will consider all of these factors. During your initial consultation, we will also give you an idea of how many sessions you may need.
