IPL

IPL works best on lighter skin tones with darker hair or pigment. During your consultation, I’ll assess your skin type and goals to ensure IPL is safe and effective for you. If it’s not the best fit, I’ll recommend an alternative. 

That depends on the treatment area and what we’re targeting. Hair reduction typically requires 6–8 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. For acne, pigmentation, or vascular issues, you may see results in 3–6 sessions. I’ll create a custom plan based on your skin and progress. 

Most clients describe IPL as a quick, warm snap—like a rubber band. It’s tolerable, and the Luvo Lucent system is designed with comfort in mind. Some areas may be more sensitive, but we’ll take it slow and adjust settings as needed. 

Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness or warmth, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually fades within a few hours. I’ll give you aftercare tips to keep your skin calm and protected. 

IPL is safest on skin that hasn’t been recently tanned, so it’s best done outside of heavy sun exposure months. We’ll chat about your sun habits in consultation to keep your skin safe and get the best results.
