IPL in Reno, NV

ICON IPL improves brown spots, sun damage, redness, and uneven skin tone to create a brighter, more uniform complexion with minimal downtime.
It targets excess pigment and superficial vascular redness without damaging surrounding tissue. Patients often notice clearer skin, reduced blotchiness, and a more refreshed appearance. ICON IPL is especially effective for treating sun-related pigmentation on the face, chest, neck, and hands.

Most patients require three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on the severity of pigmentation, redness, and overall skin goals.
Because pigment and vascular lesions respond gradually, a series allows us to safely lift discoloration while stimulating overall skin rejuvenation. Maintenance treatments once or twice per year may be recommended to maintain clarity, especially for patients with ongoing sun exposure.

Ideal candidates have lighter skin tones with sun damage, brown spots, redness, or visible vessels.
You may be a good candidate if you:
• Have sun spots or age spots
• Experience facial redness or rosacea
• Have uneven pigmentation
• Want brighter, clearer skin without significant downtime
Patients with active melasma, recent tanning, pregnancy, certain autoimmune conditions, or those taking photosensitizing medications may not be candidates. A consultation is required to evaluate your skin and determine whether ICON IPL or another laser treatment is more appropriate.

Common contraindications include:
• Recent sun exposure or tanning
• Active skin infection or open wounds
• Pregnancy
• Recent isotretinoin use within six months
• Certain photosensitizing medications
• Active melasma in the treatment area
A full medical history and skin evaluation are required prior to treatment to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior to treatment. Skin should be at its natural baseline tone.
Discontinue retinol, exfoliating products, and active skincare several days before your appointment unless otherwise directed. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or self tanner.

You may feel a brief snapping or warming sensation as pulses of light are delivered to the skin. Most patients tolerate treatment well.
Cooling technology helps maintain comfort and protect the skin. Treatment time varies depending on the area, but most facial treatments take approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

Redness similar to a mild sunburn may occur for several hours after treatment.
Brown spots often darken temporarily over the first few days before gradually flaking off over 7 to 10 days. This is a normal and expected response. You should avoid sun exposure, heat, and vigorous exercise for 24 hours and wear daily SPF.
There is minimal downtime, but proper sun protection is essential to protect results.

Pigmentation gradually fades as treated pigment rises to the surface and is naturally eliminated by the body.
Skin appears brighter, clearer, and more even toned. Redness and visible vessels often become less noticeable. Results build progressively with each treatment.
While many patients notice improvement after one session, a series produces more dramatic and longer lasting correction. Individual results vary depending on sun damage, skin type, and adherence to aftercare.
