Satisfied Clients

I have been a long-time client of Meta Esthetique, starting in my late 30’s, and was initially interested in their IPL services. I wanted to eliminate little, red broken capillaries and reduce the amount of freckling or sunspots. IPL addresses all of this and the results are fantastic. Danielle, Emilie and Linda are wonderful at explaining any of their treatments and will put anyone at ease in their tranquil and professional spa. Thank you, Meta, for the kind, caring and result-driven services.

How does IPL treatment work?

The wavelengths of light penetrate deep into the skin tissue to stimulate the cells beneath the skin’s surface and trigger the body’s ‘purging’ response so that it eliminates injured tissues and dead skin cells that may be stuck deep within the skin’s surface.

In IPL treatment for pigment issues:

The light heats the pigment cells and destroys them.
The lesions could appear darker for a few weeks after treatment.
The pigment cells then will either flake off or break down to let the body absorb them naturally.

In IPL therapy to treat blood vessel and redness problems:

Wavelengths heat the blood supply in the vessel.
The heat causes the blood to thicken in the vessel walls and hinder circulation.
The tiny veins collapse, letting the body absorb them.

We recommend 3 to 6 treatments about 4 weeks apart for most skin conditions.

What results can I expect from a series?

IPL treatment has the best results for people who have lighter skin tones. If you have darker skin tones, we can discuss alternate options to help achieve your goals.

We will review expected realistic results with you before you have the treatment, and have you sit down in our Visia system to take an in depth look at your skin layers.

How to get ready for an IPL session?

Here’s what you’ll need to do a few days or weeks before each appointment to prep your skin for treatment:

Avoid self-tanners, sunbathing and tanning for 2 weeks before treatment.
Avoid waxing, chemical peels, or cosmetic injections for 1 week before treatment.
Stop taking antibiotics for at least 1 week before treatment.
Do not wear lotions the day of treatment.
Do not take aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements the day of your treatment as these may increase some risks.

How does the skin recover from an IPL session?

Your skin may look red after treatment, but rarely does swelling occur, only is some cases. You can return to your normal routine right away.

After treatment:

It may feel like you have a mild sunburn for a few hours. You can use a cooling gel pack or cold compress to soothe the skin.
Your skin may feel sensitive for a few days.
Be religious about using sun protection on your skin.
