My procedure only less than 5 minutes for my entire face each time and that doesn't seem like enough time to properly do the treatment. After 3 of these treatments over 2 months I see no difference. No improvement of broken capillaries around and on my nose and chin and no improvement of brown spots. Is this a typical experience and outcome? How long should it take for this treatment?

Answer: IPL Treatment Length Thank you for your question! A five minute treatment seems way too fast to be thorough enough when treating brown spots and red vessels. Typically, an IPL treatment for the face takes about 45 minutes. Unless your technician was spot treating certain areas then five minutes would not be an adequate amount of time to treat the entire face. Sometimes it can take between 3-5 treatments to see a significant improvement. Some of the stronger IPL machines can yield the desired outcomes in as little as 1-3 treatments. It is important to have an experienced IPL technician doing the treatment in order to get a great result. For more information please feel free to look at our website.

Answer: Too Little, Too Short Hello! I'm sorry that this has been happening to you without results. 5 Minutes is very short, as the procedure normally takes 15-20 minutes to do the entire face, unless their just treating the areas with broken capillaries, etc. That being said, it might also be that the settings on the lasers aren't turned up to high enough intensity and thus the Intense Light isn't penetrating the epidermis. Consult a new clinic nearest you for best results.

Answer: IPL time Typically an IPL in our office will take between 30-60 minutes, so 5 minutes seems a little fast, unless they were doing spot treatments only.

Answer: Speedy Treatments are Usually Not Better Thanks for your question. I can't comment on your previous treatments. In our office, we schedule an hour in the room for an IPL full face treatment. We expect it to take about 45 minutes to treat someone thoroughly with 2 passes for browns and 2 passes for reds. We use a CynoSure ICON with the MaxG hand piece. You should pose your question to the supervising physician of your provider. Thanks and good luck.
