IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is one of our most popular clinical treatments at Haku. Here are the answers to the questions we hear most often.
How Long Does IPL Treatment Take?
Treatments take 20–40 minutes, depending on the targeted area. Expect some redness and flaking as the skin renews itself over the following 1–3 weeks.
What Are the Side Effects?
Possible side effects include stinging during application, temporary redness and darkening of pigmented lesions before they fade away. Rare risks are scarring and blistering.
Does IPL Hurt?
There may be a snapping elastic band sensation during pulses. We provide numbing cream for added comfort.
What Are the Risks of IPL Face Treatment?
IPL risks include irritation, blistering and crusting in rare cases. Strict protocols minimise adverse reactions. One's complexion may initially darken before improved skin emerges.
How Long Do IPL Results Last?
Gradual natural ageing will occur, but IPL-stimulated collagen remodels skin for 1–3 years typically. Annual touch-up sessions help maintain your refreshed, youthful glow.
How Often Should I Get a Session?
We recommend getting a treatment once a month to maintain the benefits of the treatment.
