Restore your skin’s natural glow with IPL Laser Treatment, a non-invasive light-based therapy offered at our Songdo clinic that effectively targets pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. Whether you’re dealing with uneven skin tone, facial redness, or visible capillaries, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers fast, noticeable improvements with little to no downtime—perfect for those seeking brighter, more youthful-looking skin.
What Is IPL Laser Treatment?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a broad-spectrum light therapy that penetrates deep into the skin to target melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down pigmented spots, vascular lesions, and sun-damaged cells. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, making it ideal for treating a variety of skin issues simultaneously.
Common skin concerns treated with IPL include:
- Freckles and sunspots
- Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Facial redness and rosacea
- Broken capillaries and spider veins
- Acne scars and uneven tone
- Dull or aging skin
Who Is a Good Candidate?
IPL is suitable for individuals who:
- Have light to medium skin tones
- Are experiencing pigment irregularities or redness
- Want a non-ablative solution for sun damage or aging skin
- Have mild acne-related discoloration or blotchiness
- Are seeking clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin
A consultation will determine your skin’s sensitivity and pigmentation depth to ensure IPL is the right choice for you.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
A standard IPL session includes:
- Cleansing of the skin and application of protective eye shields
- Application of a cooling gel on the treatment area
- Delivery of pulsed light using a handheld IPL device
- Optional cooling mask or calming cream after treatment
Sessions typically take 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. A course of 3 to 5 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart is often recommended for best results.
Is IPL Painful?
Discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe IPL as feeling like a quick rubber band snap with warmth. Cooling systems are used during the procedure to enhance comfort and protect the skin.
Why Choose IPL Over Other Laser Treatments?
- Treats multiple concerns (pigment, redness, texture) in one session
- No need for downtime or recovery
- Safe and gentle for regular skin maintenance
- Results improve over time with collagen stimulation
- Suitable for face, neck, chest, and hands
It’s one of the most versatile and popular light treatments used in modern Korean dermatology.
Can It Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. IPL is often paired with:
- Laser Toning or PICO laser for deeper pigment correction
- Vitamin C infusions or skin boosters for added glow
- Aqua peel facials for pore cleansing and hydration
- RF lifting treatments to enhance firmness and elasticity
This approach provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation with long-lasting effects.
Are There Any Side Effects?
IPL is a safe and gentle procedure with minimal side effects, including:
- Mild redness or warmth (resolves in a few hours)
- Temporary darkening of pigment spots before they flake off
- Very low risk of irritation or sensitivity when proper sun care is followed
Strict sun protection is essential after treatment to maintain results and prevent hyperpigmentation.
When Will I See Results and How Long Do They Last?
- Brighter and more even skin is often visible after the first session
- Pigmented lesions usually fade or flake off within 5–7 days
- Best results develop over 3–4 sessions
- Maintenance every 3 to 6 months helps preserve your glow and clarity
The gradual collagen stimulation also leads to long-term texture and tone improvement.
How to Maintain IPL Results Over Time
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) daily
- Use gentle, brightening skincare with antioxidants like niacinamide or vitamin C
- Avoid tanning beds or intense sun exposure
- Stick to a consistent skincare routine and follow-up sessions
