What happens during IPL FotoFacial treatment?

During the IPL FotoFacial treatment, the patient is provided with safety goggles and a cooling gel is administered to treatment areas. The provider then directs the hand piece against the area being treated. With each light pulse the patient may feel a quick and gentle squeezing feeling. IPL FotoFacial treatment takes approximately 20 minutes. Patients may experience some redness to the treated area immediately after treatment but within a few hours the redness will decrease. Patients may resume regular activity right after the procedure. Practitioners generally recommend a series of four to six IPL FotoFacial treatments set at intervals of three to four weeks.
