Care before and after IPL treatment
IPL photorejuvenation treatment is a safe and virtually painless option for improving skin's appearance. To achieve the best results, it's essential to follow certain recommendations before and after each session.
Before treatment: It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for at least 15 days and not to show up with tanned skin. During periods of high solar radiation, wearing a hat and using SPF 50 sunscreen is recommended to protect your skin. Fall and winter are ideal for sessions and minimize risks.
After treatment: It's important to continue avoiding the sun for at least 7 days, preferably up to 3 weeks, and to apply high-protection sunscreen (SPF 50) several times a day. Additionally, you should maintain adequate hydration in the treated areas to promote healing.
Why use an SPF 50+ PA+++ sunscreen?
Because it offers you complete and balanced protection against the two most important types of sun damage:
- 
SPF 50+ protects against UVB rays, which cause sunburn and immediate skin damage. With this protection, you block more than 98% of UVB rays, which is ideal for prolonged exposure or sensitive skin.
 - 
PA+++ indicates high protection against UVA rays, which penetrate deeper into the skin and are responsible for premature aging, such as wrinkles and spots.
 
Use a protector with SPF 50+ and PA+++ It means you're protecting your skin from both the immediate visible damage and the silent, cumulative damage that ages your skin.
 It is the best option to keep it healthy, fresh and young for longer .
Session Preparation: Skin should be clean and free of makeup or creams, with no irritations or active infections. It is not recommended to have undergone aggressive treatments in the previous 7 days, such as peels, laser, or microneedling.
These precautions are essential, since intense pulsed light acts according to skin color, and prior or subsequent sun exposure can decrease its effectiveness and increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.
