Your Recovery
Immediately After
The skin may feel warm and appear pink or flushed following treatment. Pigmented areas may initially appear darker, and areas of redness can temporarily look more noticeable.
First 24–48 Hours
Treat the skin gently and keep it well hydrated. Avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and prolonged sun exposure. Apply your recommended skincare and SPF.
Following Days
Targeted pigmentation may continue to darken before gradually lifting or shedding as the skin naturally renews. Avoid picking, scratching or exfoliating these areas.
Until Skin Has Settled
Avoid strong active ingredients, exfoliation and other potentially irritating treatments until your skin has returned to normal. Daily SPF and diligent sun protection are essential following IPL.
Recovery can vary depending on the area treated, IPL settings and your individual skin response. Your Skin Therapist will provide personalised aftercare following your treatment.
