IPL Summer

Do's and Don'ts after IPL

Do's and Don'ts after an IPL Treatment

After an IPL treatment in the summer, it is important to provide the right care to achieve the best results and keep your skin healthy. Here are some do's and don'ts to follow after your IPL session:

Do's

Use Sunscreen: Apply a sunscreen with a high SPF to the treated areas immediately after your IPL treatment. This protects your skin against harmful UV rays, especially because IPL can make the skin more sensitive.

Hydrate your Skin: Keep your skin well hydrated by applying a mild, moisturizing cream such as Aloe Vera Gel. This helps to soothe and repair the skin after the treatment.

Cool the Skin: If necessary, you can use a cool compress or ice pack to reduce any warmth or redness after the treatment.

Wear Loose Clothing: Avoid tight clothing that can cause friction on the treated areas. Loose, comfortable clothing helps the skin breathe and minimize irritation.

Soothing Products: Use products like Aloe Vera Gel to soothe the skin and reduce any redness or irritation. This natural gel also helps in moisturizing the skin.

Don'ts

Direct Sunlight: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours after your IPL treatment. This can increase skin sensitivity and increase the risk of side effects.

Heat sources: Avoid hot baths, saunas or steam rooms immediately after treatment. Heat can irritate the skin and slow the healing process.

Excessive Shaving or Waxing: Wait at least a week after your IPL treatment before shaving or waxing the treated areas again. This gives the skin time to recover and minimizes the risk of irritation.

Use of Hard Scrubs: Avoid aggressive exfoliation products or harsh scrubs on treated skin. Instead, choose gentle cleansing methods to gently care for the skin.

Use of Perfumes or Scented Products: Avoid using strongly scented lotions or products on the treated areas. These can cause irritation, especially immediately after an IPL treatment.
