What Is Optimas IPL Treatment?

Optimas IPL treatments are similar to laser treatments; however, IPL differs in that it delivers multiple wavelengths of light simultaneously, like a flash. With minimal downtime, most IPL treatments are painless and leave skin slightly red for a day or two, allowing patients to resume most normal activities immediately afterward.

Without damaging the skin’s surface, Optimas IPL dark spot treatment penetrates light into the skin’s deeper layers to help reduce unwanted pigment cells. IPL facial treatments break apart unwanted pigments, such as age spots, sunspots, melasma, or freckles, into fragments small enough for the body to eliminate over a few weeks. Also, Optimas IPL breaks down hair follicles, effectively preventing new hair growth.

Targeting Your Exact Concerns

Versatile Optimas IPL face treatments help improve the appearance of many skin conditions, including:

Acne and acne scars
Birthmarks
Stretch marks
Sun damage
Broken blood vessels
Liver or age spots
Melasma
Freckles
Redness from rosacea
Scars
Spider veins
Unwanted hair

Versatile, Full-Face Revitalization

Optimas IPL procedures can help reduce visible signs of sun damage and aging, including dark spots, in areas where people receive the most sun exposure, including:

Face
Neck
Chest
Hands
Arms

While Optimas IPL delivers significant results so that patients notice visible enhancements to their skin’s tone after a single session, patients typically experience the best improvements to their skin’s appearance after a series of three to five treatments. We recommend annual follow-up maintenance treatments to sustain initial results.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for Optimas IPL Treatment?

Candidates include patients seeking a non-invasive treatment to reduce visible signs of aging and improve their skin's overall health.

What Can I Expect During an Optimas IPL Procedure?

Each Optimas IPL procedure will be tailored to your unique skincare needs to achieve optimal results. Here are some general steps to expect.

Preparing for Your Optimas IPL Treatment

For about three days prior to and following your Optimas IPL procedure, avoid consuming alcohol, smoking, vaping, or using any other nicotine products. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and affects the body’s ability to heal itself, potentially impacting your recovery and results. For two weeks before your Optimas IPL procedure, our MedSpa experts may recommend that you avoid:

Direct sunlight or tanning beds
Waxing
Chemical peels
Collagen injections
Blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen
Skincare products that contain retinol, vitamin A, or AHAs

Optimas IPL Procedure

Typically, your skin will be treated with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during your procedure.

To begin your treatment, your eyes will be covered with dark glasses for protection. Your skin will be cleansed, then a thin gel will be applied. Your provider will guide the Optimas IPL device across the treatment area.

Optimas IPL treatments are typically well tolerated; however, some patients may experience a slight stinging sensation. Depending on the size of the treatment area, Optimas IPL procedures typically last 20 to 30 minutes.

Optimas IPL Recovery

Following your Optimas IPL treatment, you may experience a mild sunburn-like redness and slight swelling. However, these effects should resolve within one to two days. With minimal downtime, patients can resume most normal activities following the treatment. Avoid strenuous exercise or other activities that can cause sweating for 24 to 48 hours, since sweating may cause irritation. You should also avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks. When sun exposure is unavoidable, protect your skin with sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher and protective clothing.

How Soon Will I See My Optimas IPL Results?

With minimal downtime and a short recovery, you’ll begin to notice subtle improvements to your skin’s appearance in just one to two weeks after your first Optimas IPL treatment.

However, you will continue seeing improvements for three to six months after your Optimas IPL procedure as your collagen production increases.

Typically, our MedSpa experts recommend a series of three to five Optimas IPL treatments to achieve your desired results. True results will appear four to six weeks after your last treatment.

How Long Will Optimas IPL Results Last?

Optimas IPL results should last for years with proper skincare, sun protection, and annual follow-up maintenance appointments. However, each patient experiences individual results.
