IPL Photofacial FAQs — Poway patients ask

How is IPL different from a laser?

IPL uses broadband light (multiple wavelengths) — it's less targeted than a laser but treats more concerns in one pass (brown + red + texture). Lasers are more precise for single concerns; IPL is the workhorse for overall tone.

How many IPL sessions do I need?

Most patients see meaningful improvement after a series of 3 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart, with maintenance once a year.

Can IPL treat melasma?

IPL can worsen melasma in some patients. We screen carefully and may recommend chemical peels or topical protocols instead for true melasma. For sun damage and freckles, IPL is excellent.
