Some believe that sun damage ages us faster than wrinkles. We believe you should never have to worry about either! One of the most rewarding and cost-effective treatments we offer is IPL (intense pulsed light) with Icon™, a powerful and proven technology for treating pigmentation and redness.

IPL is most often used to treat the face, neck, chest, and hands, but can safely treat any sun-damaged area on the body. Sun damage, broken capillaries, and rosacea can be eliminated in 1-3 treatments with little to no downtime. The treatment is quick and reveals a clear and even complexion within days.

How many IPL treatments will I need to see results?

One IPL treatment with Icon will be extremely rewarding and effective, however, a series of up to 3 treatments is often recommended. Treatment recommendations will be provided during your consultation or first appointment.

How long does a Icon IPL treatment take?

IPL treatments can be completed in as little as 45 minutes but vary depending upon what areas are being treated and other procedures may be combined in your treatment.

Does IPL hurt?

IPL treatments are not painful, however, there are tender areas (like near the nose) that will feel less comfortable. The good news is treatment is quick and there is no lingering discomfort. Most patients describe it as a close-range rubber band snap.

How long does it take to recover from IPL and see the final results?

IPL has no downtime, and you can apply makeup following treatment. You may initially notice a darkening of pigmentation following treatment as IPL draws the pigment to the surface. From the face, it will slough off naturally within a few days (treatments on chest and body areas may take a bit longer to exfoliate). Within 7-10 days, you can expect to see your final results from the treatment.

How long will my IPL results last?

IPL results are lasting. IPL treatment draws pigment out of the skin and is removed through natural exfoliation. We recommend the use of SPF and good skincare products to support and protect your skin following treatment. You may choose to have a maintenance treatment every few years if you begin to see sun damage or vascular imperfections resurface.

Are there any alternatives to IPL with Icon?

Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery selected the Icon IPL procedure because of its efficacy in providing beautiful results for pigmentation and vascular concerns. IPL is the most efficient and cost-effective treatment to address pigment. It is important to avoid tanning and direct sun exposure prior to your treatment. If you are tan or have darker skin, we may make other treatment recommendations, such as Fractora laser or chemical peels. During your initial consultation, we will help you determine a treatment plan that is right for you.

How soon can I get an appointment?

We are often able to take same-day appointments, especially if you are a repeat patient and call early in the day. New patients need a little more time for consultation, but don’t hesitate to call or text 713-799-2278 and inquire about appointment availability as we are often able to schedule IPL consultations and treatments for the same day or the next day.
