All these areas can be treated

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Is IPL for one area only?

I need to have my face and a few areas on my chest treated (red and brown marks/sun damage). Can I have IPL for these areas, or is it for one area only? I'm also wondering approximately how much would it cost to have the treatment on these areas.

It is extremely common to treat multiple area with IPL.  It works very well for sun damaged skin on the face, neck and chest, and hands.  There is a series of treatments you will need spaced 3-4 weeks apart and most offices offer package rates for these treatments.  The prices vary widely so you will need to make some calls in your area.
