Q

What symptoms does it effective?

This treatment is effective for all kinds of skin problems, but is especially effective for spots and freckles. In addition to eliminating spots and freckles, this treatment is ideal for those who wish to prevent spots and improve acne-prone skin.

Q

Can I feel the effects even after one visit?

For spots and freckles, the effects can be seen even after one treatment, but for fair skin and red face, 5 or more treatments are recommended.

Q

How many treatments will it take to get clean?

Although a single treatment has a certain effect, we recommend that you receive 5 to 10 treatments every month as skin maintenance. If you have dark spots, we also recommend the use of Acuplus until about the third treatment. After that, many patients continue to receive regular treatments to maintain the skin’s beauty and elasticity.

Q

Is the treatment painful?

Some patients may feel pain like being popped with a rubber band, but please be assured that we will adjust the speed of irradiation and take other measures to minimize pain.

Q

Will people around me know that I have undergone the treatment?

When dark spots are treated with Acuplus, the spots may scab over for about a week. The fine scabs can be covered with makeup, but some patients may find it difficult to apply makeup the day after the treatment. Reactions will vary depending on the intensity of the spots, so if you are concerned, we recommend that you come to the clinic before work or other vacations.

Q

Can I wear makeup after the procedure?

No problem. You can go about your normal life immediately after the treatment.

Q

Is there any downtime after the procedure?

Individuals may experience redness and a tingling sensation similar to that after sunburn for 1-2 hours after the treatment. Also, in rare cases, redness may remain for several days for those with sensitive skin. In such cases, we will inform you of the care you can take at home, so please consult us if you are concerned.

Q

Do I need any special care after irradiation?

Normal skin care is fine. However, since the skin after treatment is more sensitive to sunlight, we ask that you use sunscreen, hats, parasols, etc. to protect against ultraviolet rays.

Q

Does the skin become thinner or more sensitive after multiple treatments?

This is not the case. Photo IPL is a treatment that promotes turnover by revitalizing the skin. It is also a popular skin maintenance treatment because it is easy to undergo, taking only 15 to 30 minutes.
