elōs™ IPL Foto Facial FAQ's

What to expect after the treatment?
Your age spots and pigmentation will darken. After around 7-10 days these darkened spots will flake off leaving a clearer, more youthful appearance.
 
How long will the treatment last?
You will often see significant change after just one treatment. Over the course of 3-5 treatment sessions, most people see a gradual and continual improvement of their skin tone. The total number of required sessions varies depending on the condition of your skin. During your initial light consultation, your nurse or Advanced Skin Therapist will recommend a schedule for maximum results.
 
Does the treatment hurt?
Individual experience varies. Some people describe the sensation as uncomfortable & like the flicking of a rubber band.
 
Is it Safe?
Treatment is safe and effective for most skin types and colours, except for very dark skin.
 
How long does the procedure take?
Generally, after your consultation, each procedure takes around 30 – 45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
 
How quickly does it work?
Most people see a visible difference over the course of their treatments. During your initial consultation, your Skin Expert will recommend a treatment schedule for maximum results.
 
I’ve heard you can burn the skin…will that happen?
Our Nurses and Advanced Skin Therapists always do a test patch prior to any treatment to determine the best settings for your skin and reduce the risk of any side effects. Expect to have a patch test at your initial consultation, and return for treatment a week or so later. Winter is a great time to have IPL treatments, and you should have a healthy regard for the sun prior to and after treatment, as sun exposure can increase the risk of side effects or pigment coming back. You should wear your recommended sun protection every day.
