Results & Maintenance
How Long Results Last
Results depend on what you’re treating. Hair reduction can last months to years with maintenance. Pigmentation and redness improvements can last a long time but sun exposure and ageing can bring issues back. IPL doesn’t stop biology.
Maintenance Requirements
Yes. IPL usually requires a course of treatments spaced weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months depending on the concern and lifestyle factors like sun exposure.
