The IPL Therapy Process
- Consultation
Your IPL journey begins with a detailed consultation at Laguna Beauty Med Spa. Our experts will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and design a personalized treatment plan. - Preparation
Prior to your session, it is essential to avoid tanning and direct sun exposure for at least two weeks. A numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure. - Treatment Session
During the procedure, a handheld IPL device delivers light pulses to the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping, similar to a rubber band. The session typically lasts 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. - Post-Treatment Care
After your session, mild redness or swelling may occur, but these effects usually subside within a few hours. Use sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure to protect your skin as it heals.
Safety and Side Effects
IPL therapy is safe and effective when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including:

- Mild peeling or flaking as the skin renews

To ensure safety and optimal results, all IPL treatments at Laguna Beauty Med Spa are administered by licensed practitioners.
