Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about IPL Skin Rejuvenation or Acne Laser Hands.

Most clients report mild, brief snapping or warming sensations; discomfort is generally tolerable. We use cooling and adjustable settings to maximize comfort, and topical numbing can be applied on request for especially sensitive hands.

Most patients benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Results depend on skin concerns, severity, and skin type; your provider will create a personalized plan and reassess progress after each session.

Expect mild redness, warmth, and occasional temporary darkening of pigmented spots that flake off within days to two weeks. Avoid sun exposure, heavy exfoliation, and hot water while healing; apply SPF and follow post-care instructions for optimal results.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary: redness, swelling, or crusting. Rare risks include blistering or pigment changes, especially with darker skin or sun exposure. A consultation and test patch determine suitability; disclose medications and recent tanning to minimize complications.

Ideal candidates have sunspots, uneven tone, crepey texture, or mild hand acne and realistic expectations. Those with lighter to medium skin tones see fastest results; contraindications include pregnancy, active infection, recent tanning, or certain medications—consultation confirms candidacy.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks, stop topical retinoids as advised, and skip photosensitizing medications. Keep hands clean and free of lotions on the day of treatment; your provider will review a detailed pre-care checklist at consultation.
