You may experience a slight sunburn afterward which should disappear within a few hours, up to a day or two. Healing time after IPL varies by patient and the condition being treated. For veins, the skin will appear slightly red for 2 to 5 days after treatment. Freckles and age spots usually darken within 3 to 7 days of treatment before starting to fade. Scabs may form and last up to 10 days. Scabbing is the result of hyperpigmentation rising to the surface of the skin and gradually falling off after IPL treatment. It usually takes 3 to 5 treatments over several months to get rid of age spots. IPL Photofacials can cure a wide range of skin issues. Indu Khosla offers IPL Photofacials at Bellezza Laser Spa.
