Does IPL hurt to have done?
Answer: Minimizing pain associated with IPL IPL (intense pulsed light) or photofacial laser treatment can be painful depending on the type of laser machine that your doctor has. Discomfort can be minimized with numbing cream followed by Saran wrap to be applied 45-60 minutes prior to IPL treatment.

Answer: IPL pain Thank you for your question! Some people may feel slight discomfort depending on pain tolerance. It is usually referred to as feeling like hot grease splatter. Some patients feel as though it does not hurt at all and others believe it can be uncomfortable. The treatment is very quick and you do not feel any pain when the treatment is over, your skin may just feel warm like a mild sunburn.

Answer: Depends on your sensitivity level With every burst of energy delivered by the IPL device, you may feel something like a rubber band snapping against your skin. This may be painful depending on your sensitivity level. Numbing cream may be applied beforehand to reduce discomfort.
