How IPL Treatments Work
Face Skin & Body Bar in Calgary offers advanced IPL Treatments, using our powerful Lumecca IPL device. This is a highly effective solution for skin concerns related to the tone and texture of the skin. An IPL Treatment, or Intense Pulse Light, employs broad-spectrum pulsed light to precisely target specific chromophores (reds and browns) within the skin, namely, melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (blood vessels). The pulsed light energy is absorbed by these targets in the skin, generating controlled thermal damage. This process effectively breaks down unwanted pigmentation that presents as age spots and sun damage, and coagulates the blood vessels that contribute to vascular lesions and redness. Our IPL Treatments using our Lumecca IPL are non-ablative, treating the dermal layers without disrupting the epidermal surface of the skin, resulting in a more even complexion and refined skin tone. The sophisticated technology of Intense Pulse Light allows our skilled practitioners to customize IPL Treatment parameters to directly address your individual skin concerns with optimal efficacy.
Benefits Of IPL Treatments
Choosing IPL Treatments at Face Skin & Body Bar yields significant benefits for achieving clearer, more youthful-looking skin. A primary outcome is the effective reduction of sun damage, as IPL Treatments precisely target and diminish age spots, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even complexion. For individuals experiencing redness and vascular lesions such as broken capillaries and rosacea, the Lumecca IPL can noticeably decrease their appearance, promoting a more balanced skin tone. Furthermore, Intense Pulse Light stimulates collagen production, leading to improved overall skin tone and texture, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines. Regular IPL Treatments provide a comprehensive strategy for addressing multiple skin concerns and achieving substantial improvements in skin clarity and uniformity.
IPL treatments can effectively target any sun-exposed areas, such as the hands, arms, shoulders, upper back, neck, and décolleté area. This versatile treatment is also a valuable preventative measure against future pigmentation, with annual sessions working to address developing pigment and vascularity within the dermis.
Ideal Candidates
If you're looking to address sun damage, age spots, sun spots, uneven pigmentation, redness, rosacea, or visible vascular lesions, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, including Lumecca IPL, could be your solution.
The most effective candidates for IPL are those with lighter skin tones, typically assessed as a Fitzpatrick Scale I, II, III, or very light IV, and those with minimal to no tan. This is crucial for achieving optimal results.
Often called 'laser season', these treatments are best during Calgary's colder, darker months (September to May) when limiting sun exposure is easier. It's an excellent annual treatment to repair summer sun damage and achieve a more even complexion with enhanced skin tone and texture.
Our experienced practitioners will conduct a thorough skin assessment during your consultation to determine if IPL is the right path for your desired outcomes.
What To Expect From Treatment
Your IPL Treatment session at Face Skin & Body Bar in Calgary will be a carefully administered procedure focused on achieving optimal results. Protective eyewear will be provided. A cooling gel will be applied to the designated treatment area to ensure patient comfort and facilitate precise energy delivery. The Lumecca IPL device will be systematically applied to the treatment area, emitting controlled pulses of Intense Pulse Light. Patients may perceive a brief sensation of warmth or a mild snap during each pulse, which is generally well-tolerated. The duration of the IPL Treatments will be determined by the size of the treatment area and the specific skin concerns being addressed, typically ranging from 30 minutes to one hour.

Results And Recovery
Results
Following a series of IPL treatments at Face Skin & Body Bar, you can anticipate a progressive and noticeable improvement in your skin tone and overall complexion. Here's what you'll typically observe:
Pigmentation: Age spots and other pigmented lesions will initially darken before gradually fading as your body naturally eliminates the treated pigment.
Redness: You'll see a visible reduction in redness and superficial vascular lesions.
Texture and Fine Lines: The treatment stimulates collagen production, which contributes to enhanced skin texture and a diminished appearance of fine lines.
Thanks to its advanced technology, Lumecca IPL often delivers particularly impactful results.

IPL Recovery Timeline: What To Expect
The recovery period after an IPL treatment is typically minimal, often just 5 to 12 hours of increased sensitivity and redness.
However, your individual recovery time can vary. If you have more severe rosacea or deeper pigmentation, your downtime might extend to several days, or even up to a week. The risk of bruising also increases with the severity of your concerns and individual skin characteristics.
Rest assured, all of this will be thoroughly discussed during your initial consultation and patch test. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and can plan accordingly. We also progressively adjust treatment parameters to ensure you achieve the most optimal results. Your provider will give you a clear indication of your likely downtime based on your personalized assessment and treatment plan.
Patients may experience transient mild redness and a sensation of warmth in the treatment area, comparable to mild sun exposure, which generally resolves within half a day. Treated pigmented lesions may exhibit a temporary darkening and potential superficial flaking over 1 to 2 weeks. Strict adherence to sun protection, including consistent use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, is essential. Routine skincare can typically be resumed immediately, with gentle care of the treated skin.

"I have finished a few sessions of IPL with Wendy, and I have never received that many compliments about my complexion! My pores are less noticeable, my sunspots have cleared up, and my redness around my nose is gone. She was able to explain to me the improvement of pre-treating, and I am happy that I did. I definitely recommend this place if you have any concerns about pigmentation.”
