IPL Prices

I have seen a huge price range on this particular treatment. I've seen them as low as $150 and as high as $500 to the face. At my office we charge a fair price because I feel it's a wonderful treatment to offer my dermatolgy patients who have suffered from extreme sun damage, rosacea and other pigmented diseases of the skin. It does a great job and the patients are generally very pleased with the results. Most patients need 2-3 treatments and most offices give a discount if you purchase... more

IPL costs a few hundred

IPl price used to be around $500 per one treatment. As this modality became more popular and available the cost is now also more affordable. It can range between $200 and $350 per one session. Most patients will need series of 5 treatments so, packages are usually are better deals. You should expect to pay for package of 5 IPL's around $1000.

Cost of IPL

In our office, we do an updated version of IPL called AFT. Depending on the extent of the hyperpigmentation, we charge anywhere from $100-$400 per area. $100 would cover spot treatments, where the $400 would cover a full face and neck treatment. It is the most effective laser for hyperpigmentation (brown or red spots) on the market.

Cost of IPL therapy based on treatment area size

Typically, it is based on the size of the area that you are treating. When the size is larger it will take more time and hence the cost usually goes up. For the face, each treatment may range between $150-800. For the chest, it may range between 250-1000. One thing to realize is that not all intense pulse light systems are the same. You want to go to someone who has the best IPL. In my opinion, the lumenis IPL is the most powerful and versatile and is the best system out there. I have one... more

IPL costs about $300 per Treatment

Reza IPL costs about $300 per treatment in California. Most patients will require about 3-5 treatments to get the best results. Remember, If you have darker skin ( 3 to 5 on the Fitzpatrick Scale) it is very important that your skin be pretreated for 4 to 6 weeks with Rentin A, 4% Hydroquinone and Sunscreen to avoid complications. I also recommend every patient have a computerized skin analysis and photographs before and after treatments. Dr. Reichner
