A Walkthrough of Your Treatment

When undergoing an IPL photofacial at Contour Laser, your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to ensure suitability and address any concerns. Once prepped, your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities. A cooling gel is then applied to safeguard and enhance light penetration. Protective eyewear is provided to shield your eyes from the intense light. The IPL device is meticulously adjusted to suit your skin type and treatment objectives.


Using a handheld device, our practitioner administers controlled pulses of light, targeting pigment or blood vessels in the deeper layers of your skin. You may experience a mild, snapping sensation akin to a rubber band snap, although some devices incorporate cooling mechanisms for comfort. Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, ensuring precise application of intense pulsed light to the targeted areas of your skin.

    A typical IPL photofacial session at Contour Laser Medi Spa lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.

  • Can I wear makeup immediately after an IPL photofacial?

    It's best to avoid makeup for the first 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal properly. This helps to prevent irritation and allows the skin to breathe and recover. After the initial 24-hour period, you can gradually reintroduce makeup into your routine, starting with gentle, non-comedogenic products. 


    Following the post-treatment care instructions provided by your skincare professional at Contour Laser Medi Spa ensures optimal results and minimizes the risk of complications.

  • How many IPL photofacial treatments are recommended for optimal results?

    Optimal results from an IPL photofacial are typically seen after a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. The exact number of sessions required can vary depending on individual skin concerns, such as sun damage, pigmentation issues, or acne scars. 


    During your initial consultation at Contour Laser Medi Spa, our professionals will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best outcomes.
