ALTERNATIVES
For patients seeking more effective or targeted results, consider:
BBL Laser: A more advanced light-based treatment that addresses pigmentation and redness more effectively than IPL.
While IPL is ideal for mild concerns, BBL laser provides a more powerful and versatile solution for advanced skin rejuvenation.
COMPLEMENTARY
Enhance your IPL results with these complementary treatments:
Dysport + Botox: Smooth dynamic wrinkles to complement IPL’s skin-rejuvenating effects.
Combining IPL with neuromodulators creates a balanced, rejuvenated look, addressing both skin tone and expression lines.
RESULTS
IPL laser delivers gradual, natural-looking improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity. Pigmentation and redness are reduced, and the skin appears brighter and more youthful. While the results are long-lasting, maintenance treatments and sun protection are essential to preserving your refreshed look.
RECOVERY
Recovery from IPL laser is minimal, but following aftercare instructions is essential for optimal results:
First 24-48 Hours: Mild redness or warmth is normal and will subside quickly. Avoid hot showers, saunas, or excessive heat.
1 Week: Dark spots may appear darker before flaking off, revealing clearer skin.
Maintenance: Protect your skin with sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure to prolong results.
Most patients notice visible improvements after one session, with optimal results achieved through a series of treatments.
WHAT TO EXPECT
IPL laser treatments are quick and non-invasive, performed in our Manhattan office. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Here’s what to expect during the process:
Before Treatment: Your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied to enhance comfort.
During Treatment: The IPL handpiece emits pulses of light that may feel like a mild snapping sensation on the skin. The treatment is generally well-tolerated.
After Treatment: Your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, but this subsides within a few hours.
There’s no downtime, making IPL a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
PLANNING
Preparing for IPL laser treatment ensures a smooth experience and optimal results. Key steps include:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin with sunscreen and avoid tanning for at least two weeks before treatment.
Stop Photosensitizing Products: Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliants, and other harsh skincare products a few days before your session.
Medications: Inform your provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide detailed pre-treatment instructions during your consultation to ensure the best results.
NOT CANDIDATES
IPL laser may not be suitable for individuals who:
Have very dark skin tones, as there is a higher risk of hyperpigmentation.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have active skin infections, inflammation, or severe acne.
Are taking photosensitizing medications.
During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will evaluate your skin and recommend the best treatment plan for your concerns.
candidates
You may be an excellent candidate for IPL laser if you:
Have mild to moderate pigmentation, redness, or sun damage.
Want to improve skin tone and texture without downtime.
Are looking for a non-invasive treatment with gradual, natural results.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.

THE PROCEDURE
IPL laser uses broad-spectrum light to target and break down unwanted pigmentation, redness, and vascular lesions. Unlike traditional lasers, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light to penetrate different layers of the skin, effectively addressing a wide range of concerns.
IPL is effective for:
Sun damage and brown spots
Redness and rosacea
Broken capillaries and spider veins
Uneven skin tone and texture
Fine lines and mild skin laxity
This treatment is gentle, making it suitable for most skin types and areas of the body, including the face, neck, and décolletage.
IPL LASER
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser is a versatile, non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin tone and texture by targeting pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. This light-based therapy stimulates collagen production, rejuvenating the skin for a brighter, more even complexion. Performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board certified oculofacial plastic surgeon in NYC, in our Manhattan office, IPL is ideal for patients looking for gentle skin revitalization with minimal downtime. For more advanced skin concerns, BBL Laser is a highly effective alternative. If you’re considering IPL laser in NYC, trust Dr. Schwarcz to deliver natural, glowing results tailored to your unique needs.
