Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about VP or IPL Pulse.

VP or IPL Pulse treats localized sunspots, age spots, broken capillaries, redness, freckles, and small pigmented lesions. It's designed for targeted correction on small areas and works best over a series of short sessions determined during your consultation.

A typical VP or IPL Pulse session lasts about 10 to 20 minutes for small spots. Time varies with area size and number of lesions; consultations establish an individualized plan including expected session length and frequency.

Most clients describe a quick snapping or warm sensation during VP or IPL Pulse; discomfort is usually mild and brief. We use cooling and can apply topical anesthetic if needed. Any redness or tenderness typically subsides within a few days.

Treatment number varies by concern; many small lesions require one to three VP or IPL Pulse sessions. More stubborn pigmentation or vascular issues may need additional treatments spaced four to six weeks apart based on response and skin type.

After VP or IPL Pulse, expect temporary redness or slight swelling. Avoid sun exposure, wear broad-spectrum SPF, use gentle cleansers, and refrain from exfoliants for several days. Pigmented spots may darken slightly before flaking off; follow provider aftercare instructions closely.

Risks of VP or IPL Pulse are uncommon but include temporary redness, swelling, blistering, and pigment changes. Scarring is rare. Suitability depends on skin tone and medical history; a patch test and qualified provider reduce complications and ensure safe, effective treatment.
