Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about IPL Package of 6.

The package includes six ICON IPL photofacial sessions. We typically schedule them four to six weeks apart to allow skin healing and collagen remodeling. Results accumulate over the series, and clients often see visible improvement after three treatments, with optimal results after completion.

The IPL Package of 6 addresses sunspots, freckles, redness, broken capillaries, uneven tone, and mild acne scarring. It also helps reduce fine lines and improves texture. Suitable concerns depend on skin type, so a consultation determines best treatment plan and expected outcome.

Most clients report mild snapping sensations during treatment; discomfort is generally minimal. We offer topical numbing creams for added comfort. Treatments are quick, and our clinicians adjust settings to balance effectiveness with tolerability for each client's sensitivity level.

Some improvement is visible within one to two weeks as pigmented spots darken and slough off. Collagen-driven smoothing and texture changes appear progressively over several months; best outcomes are typically seen after completing all six sessions.

Ideal candidates have lighter skin tones with sun damage, vascular concerns, or uneven tone. Darker skin types require evaluation to reduce pigment risk. We perform a consultation and patch test to determine candidacy and customize settings for safe, effective treatment.

Common temporary effects include redness, mild swelling, and darkening of treated spots before peeling. Rare risks include blistering, scarring, or hypo/hyperpigmentation. Risk is minimized by proper pre- and post-care and treatment by trained professionals at Skintastic Medi Spa.
