First of all, it is a NON-LASER SYSTEM. IPL devices are light instruments that look and act like lasers, but do not qualify as true lasers because of their lack of coherent, monochromatic light. They are many IPLs on the market today, with new ones introduced every year.
IPL is delivered as short flashes, which are precisely timed to heat up the target to the correct temperature without damaging surrounding tissue. It can customize to reach the melanin or hemoglobin hence eliminating pigmented lesion, hair removal and fine blood vessel. During a full face 15 minutes procedure, a thin layer of cool ultrasound gel is placed on the skin surface and the laser is placed directly against the gel. Patient can generally return to work immediately following the procedure, which makes it very popular with patients. Sun block is essential after the procedure.
My experience:
This is done after my fractional laser to get the even tone my skin. It helps to subside the redness but the results won't last LONG...the marks will back in a week of time but it did help to lighten it. Sun block is a must. Also, hydration, try to use moisturising mask or least moisturizer everyday. This treatment is more expensive than microdermabrasion. It cost RM250 per session.
