Photo Rejuvenation involves a series of intense pulse light sessions to improve your skin’s overall complexion.
IPL PHOTOREJUVENATION:
Your Brightest Skin Yet
Our expert laser technicians are dedicated to delivering high-quality intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments for skin concerns. We treat the area with a series of intense light pulses that reach below the skin without causing damage. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. IPL targets rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damage, dark spots, skin texture, and photoaging. Treatments can also benefit mild acne scars, reduce large pores and smooth fine lines with little to no downtime. You may resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

The IPL Laser Therapy Procedure & Recovery
During an IPL laser procedure at Gambhir Cosmetic Medicine, a specially designed handpiece is applied to the skin’s surface, emitting a broad spectrum of light pulses. These pulses are absorbed by the targeted areas, breaking down pigment and stimulating collagen production. While the procedure is relatively quick and well-tolerated, patients may experience a mild sensation of warmth and a slight “snapping” feeling during the treatment.
Recovery from IPL is minimal, with most individuals able to return to their daily activities immediately. Some redness and mild swelling are expected after the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. Protecting the treated area from excessive sun exposure is essential and following post-procedure care instructions to optimize results. A series of IPL sessions may be recommended, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the best outcome and maintain healthier, more radiant skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Qualify for IPL Laser Therapy?
People who are pregnant, tanning—including sunless tanning/spray tans—taking Accutane, or are taking light-sensitive antibiotics such as doxycycline, minocycline, or tetracycline should not receive treatment. The procedure is not advisable for patients with active acne cysts, large pustules, highly active rosacea, or active herpes breakouts.
Does It Hurt?
Most patients describe a 2/10 pain level, with a sensation similar to the snap of a rubber band. We clean and apply a cool gel to help minimize the discomfort. We also have a topical anesthetic that can be used for maximum comfort. For sensitive skin, a cool compress can be applied following treatment.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Skin can appear red, and brown pigment spots may appear darker immediately after treatment. Some patients experience minor bruising or swelling. Rarely, temporary blisters, changes in skin color, and permanent scarring can occur.
Are There Any Restrictions After Treatment?
Sun exposure should be kept at a minimum for a week after treatment. A medical-grade sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater should be used daily after treatment.
