No, the Glass IPL Photofacial is not a cordless device and as such, needs to be plugged into a power supply in order to use it.

Can I use this on spider veins on my legs?

Yes, you can use the Glass IPL Photofacial on any part of the body that you desire. However, it is important to remember we can not guarantee a certain level of results. Deeper tissue pigments will be more stubborn to treat and fade. The amount of pigment and depth of the pigment all play a role in expected results.

What settings and level should I use?

When starting your IPL experience, always start off on the lowest level on the setting that matches that area of the body you are treating. For example, select the face setting with an intensity of level 1 when using the device on the face. Select the leg setting and intensity level 1 when treating the legs and so on. Increase the level of intensity on the next session if you experienced no negative side effects on level one. Continue this process until you reach a level of intensity you are comfortable with.

When can I see results?

We can not promise or guarantee any specific level of results. Everyones skin and situation is different and unique to them. For discoloration closer to the surface of the skin, results can begin soon. For pigmentation malformations deeper into the skin, visible results may take longer and require more frequent and ongoing treatment.

Can I use IPL on melasma?

Yes and no. Research shows IPL treatment can help improve melasma for quick, short term results. However, relapse often is seen within three months in this research study. With melasma being a unique form of hyper pigmentation, fractional nonablative lasers have been studied for the treatment of melasma and proven more effective long term.

"I have been using The Glass IPL Photofacial on my skin for 2 weeks now, but my dark spots are looking darker? is this normal?"

Absolutely, this is a normal part of the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment process. When IPL treatment is administered, the light energy is absorbed by the pigmented cells in your skin. This energy then turns into heat, which causes the pigmented cells to rise to the surface of the skin. As a result, dark spots may temporarily appear darker post-treatment. Following an IPL session, these darker spots will start to come to the skins surafce and fade away with your skins natural cellular turn over, eventually fade away over the course of anywhere from 4-8 weeks or more. This process reveals lighter, more evenly toned skin underneath. However, it's crucial to remember that the effectiveness of IPL treatments can vary depending on individual skin types and conditions. Lastly, protecting your skin from sun exposure after IPL treatments is vital, as sun exposure can cause new dark spots to form and counteract the effectiveness of the IPL treatments. Always use a high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin.

Will IPL get rid of wrinkles?

No, IPL is not a suitable treatment for wrinkles. IPL does increase collagen production to help tighten the skin, however, this will not have any significant impact on already existing wrinkles. Wrinkles are best treated with high volume exfoliants such as retinols, dermal fillers, and advanced resurfacing lasers. Please discuss your options with a registered aesthetic nurse or dermatologist.
