What is IPL for men?

An intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is a popular dermal therapy that uses specialized wavelengths of light to target damaged skin cells. This treatment can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. At Chiseled, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Melissa Chiang and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Younghoon Cho use the Lumecca system for IPL therapy. Lumecca delivers three times more energy than traditional IPL technologies, which shortens treatment time and provides even more dramatic results. This light-based therapy can remove old skin cells to encourage the natural regeneration process and the production of collagen for healthier, radiant skin. If you live in Spring, TX or near The Woodlands, we invite you to call Chiseled to schedule a private skin consultation with our team today.

Who is a Candidate for ipl for Men?

An IPL treatment can work great for any skin types and can help to improve dermal concerns without a lengthy recovery period. You may be an ideal candidate if you want to address issues like rosacea, sun damage, brown spots, freckles, melasma, hyperpigmentation, rough texture, overly large pores, age spots, or broken capillaries. During your initial visit, Dr. Chiang or Dr. Cho will examine your skin to determine whether IPL is the best choice for your needs.

How Are ipl Treatments Performed?

An IPL is an outpatient treatment performed on-site at our Spring, TX office and usually takes about 45 – 60 minutes to complete. To start the procedure, one of our seasoned aestheticians will wash and dry your face before covering your eyes with protective goggles. The Lumecca IPL treatment is performed using a handheld wand that will pass over the skin while emitting light energy pulses. The Lumecca device has a specialized sapphire tip that emits a gentle cooling sensation to eliminate the need for a topical numbing agent. This cooling system also enables optimal comfort for our patients.

What Should I Expect after AN IPL Session?

Since IPL is noninvasive, there is no required downtime associated with this procedure. Once your treatment is complete, you are free to return to your routine. Your skin may appear red or feel a little inflamed, but this is normal and should dissipate by the following day. Taking anti-inflammatory medicine may also help to help ease any swelling. Over the next 2 – 5 days, the damaged skin cells will crust and then flake off. It is very important to keep your skin protected with sunscreen as often as possible after an IPL and to not pick at the flaking skin, as picking can cause scarring. While you will probably see visible improvements after your first session, your skin will attain the best results with several treatments. We usually recommend 3 – 5 treatments, each spaced one month apart.

IPL for men FAQ

Is IPL safe?

Yes, IPL is a safe and effective treatment for many common skin concerns. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects involved. Be sure to consult with Dr. Cho to see if IPL is right for your needs. Our team will work with you to help ensure that your experience is as safe and comfortable as possible.

How do you prepare for IPL?

Be sure to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks prior to IPL. This will ensure your treatment is effective and minimizes your risk of side effects. Inform our team at Chiseled if you have any medical conditions or skin sensitivities that might impact recovery. Our skilled team members can provide a complete list of pre-treatment instructions during a consultation.

Will my IPL results appear natural?

Men in Spring, TX, are often concerned that IPL will create an unnatural appearance. However, IPL is a highly effective process that creates excellent results without making you look "overdone." No one should be able to tell that you've had a cosmetic treatment done unless you tell them.

How quick are the results from IPL?

Some results can usually be seen following one treatment, but optimal results are visible around one month after a full series of treatments is completed. It is common for patients to get varying results after every treatment. You should notice gradual improvements in blotchiness, redness, and spots (age, brown, and sun).

What are the possible side effects of IPL?

It's common to have mild, temporary side effects, like swelling, redness, blisters, bruising, or crusting. These fade within a day or two after the procedure. Your skin will be sun sensitive, and you should keep in mind that excessive sun exposure will affect your results. You should also wear sunscreen to protect your skin and avoid issues like spots and redness.

Why should I get multiple IPL sessions?

Multiple IPL are better to produce gradual, natural-looking improvements to the appearance of your complexion. Each session helps to fade surface irregularities and spots. Several treatments also produce longer-lasting results.
