IPL Pigmentation treatment requires minimal downtime. Depending on the extent of the client's concern, typically, 2 - 4 treatments are recommended at monthly intervals (face) or 6 - 8 week intervals (decolletage, arms or upper back), with maintenance treatments recommended every six months to 1 year.

Some cases are considered unsuitable for treatment:

• Any raised lesion (actinic keratosis, moles, etc.)
• Melasma, birthmarks, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIHP) or any other brown pigment that is not within the listed indications
• Fitzpatrick Skin Type V & VI
• Actinic bronzing ( excessive sun damage/mottling) is not to be treated with IPL pigment. Treat with photo rejuv instead
• Treatment should be avoided on the torso (below decolletage), legs and feet.
• Clients who are not prepped four weeks prior
• Clients whose skin is not in optimal health (i.e. impaired barrier or compromised skin)
