Congratulations to our clients in Canada on their successful IPL launch

We’re thrilled to celebrate another success story from one of our valued partners — Rene from Canada, who has officially launched Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments at her beauty studio!

After choosing Krysmed’s professional IPL system, Rene has successfully expanded her treatment menu to include hair removal, skin rejuvenation, acne reduction, and pigmentation therapy. Her clients are already delighted with the visible improvements — smoother, brighter skin and a more even complexion — all achieved through safe and comfortable sessions.

At Krysmed, we take pride in empowering beauty professionals worldwide with reliable, high-performance aesthetic technologies. Seeing our partners grow their business and enhance their clients’ confidence is what inspires us every day.

What Is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive skin treatment technology that uses multiple wavelengths of light to target specific chromophores in the skin, such as melanin and hemoglobin.
Unlike traditional laser treatments that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers broad-spectrum light (typically 500–1200 nm), making it highly versatile for addressing a wide range of skin concerns.

When the light energy is absorbed by targeted pigments, it converts into heat, breaking down unwanted pigment cells, reducing redness, and stimulating collagen regeneration — leaving the skin looking clearer, firmer, and more radiant.

How Does IPL Work?

During an IPL session, short bursts of broad-spectrum light are delivered to the skin through a handpiece. The light penetrates the surface and is selectively absorbed by pigments or blood vessels beneath the skin.
This light energy then converts into heat, which:

• Breaks down unwanted pigment such as freckles, sunspots, or age spots.

• Destroys hair follicles to reduce future hair growth.

• Shrinks small blood vessels that cause redness and flushing.

• Stimulates collagen production, improving skin tone, firmness, and texture.

The surrounding tissues remain unharmed, and the body’s natural healing process removes the treated pigment or vessels over the following days, revealing clearer and rejuvenated skin.

Main Applications of IPL

Krysmed’s IPL systems are versatile, offering multiple filter options for a range of skin and aesthetic concerns:

1. Permanent Hair Removal (IPL Hair Removal)

• Mechanism: Light energy targets melanin in the hair follicle, disabling its ability to regrow.

• Areas: Face, underarms, legs, bikini line, and body.

• Course: Usually 6–8 sessions depending on hair type and cycle.

• Note: Dark, coarse hair responds best; fine or light hair may require additional sessions.

2. IPL Skin Rejuvenation

• Goal: Improve uneven tone, fine lines, open pores, and photoaging.

• Course: 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

• Effect: Promotes collagen remodeling for firmer, more radiant skin.

3. Pigmentation & Sun Damage

• Targets: Freckles, age spots, and sun-induced hyperpigmentation.

• Mechanism: Breaks down excess melanin, which then flakes off naturally over time.

4. Vascular Lesions

• Targets: Redness, broken capillaries, mild rosacea.

• Mechanism: Coagulates superficial vessels, visibly reducing redness.

5. Acne Reduction

• Effect: Destroys acne-causing bacteria and reduces sebaceous activity.

• Bonus: Can be combined with blue-light or PDT therapy for enhanced results.

Who Are Good Candidates for IPL?

IPL is best suited for clients with:

• Fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III)

• Concerns such as redness, sun damage, dullness, or uneven pigmentation

• Unwanted hair growth on the face or body

• Early signs of skin aging

Clients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) may also benefit when treated with adjusted energy parameters and appropriate filters.

How Long Does an IPL Treatment Take?

The duration varies depending on the treatment area and goal:

Including preparation, cooling, and consultation, the total appointment time typically ranges from 30 to 90 minutes.
Clinics are advised to schedule extra buffer time to ensure a calm and professional experience.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for IPL?

A full course of IPL typically includes 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart depending on the concern being treated.
Most clients notice visible improvement after the first session, with gradual enhancement as the skin regenerates.

What Skin Types Can IPL Treat?

Modern IPL systems, like Krysmed’s advanced models, are designed with optimized cooling systems and adjustable wavelength filters, allowing safe and effective treatments for a wide range of skin types.
However, a professional consultation is always recommended to determine the ideal parameters for each client’s skin tone and condition.

IPL Treatment Procedure

A typical IPL treatment involves several professional steps:

1. Skin Analysis – Assess the client’s Fitzpatrick skin type, recent sun exposure, and medical history to ensure safety and optimal results.

2. Parameter Setting – Choose the right wavelength filter and energy (J/cm²) according to the treatment goal — hair removal, pigmentation, redness, or acne.

3. Cooling & Protection – Apply contact cooling or cooling gel to protect the epidermis and ensure comfort. Clients must wear protective goggles.

4. Light Application – The handpiece delivers controlled light pulses to the target area. The operator monitors skin response and overlap precision.

5. Post-Treatment Review – Record parameters, note skin reactions, and schedule the next session (typically every 4–6 weeks).

6. Before & After Photography – Document progress and results to support professional recordkeeping and client trust.

Before & After Care for IPL Treatments

🔹 Before IPL Treatment (Preparation)

1. Avoid Sun Exposure (2–4 Weeks): Tanned or recently sun-exposed skin increases risk of pigmentation issues.

2. Discontinue Photosensitizing Medications: Stop use of antibiotics, isotretinoin, or strong acids (AHA/BHA, Retinol) as advised by your practitioner.

3. No Waxing or Epilation (2 Weeks): For hair removal, shave the area 24–48 hours before treatment instead.

4. Clean Skin Only: Arrive with no makeup, lotions, or oils.

5. Disclose Medical History: Notify your provider of any allergies, skin conditions, or medications.

🔹 After IPL Treatment (Recovery)

1. Immediate Cooling: Apply a cold compress for 15–30 minutes to reduce redness or swelling.

2. Sun Protection: Use SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks.

3. Gentle Skincare: Skip exfoliating acids, retinoids, and peels for 5–7 days; focus on hydration and repair (ceramides, hyaluronic acid).

4. Do Not Pick or Scratch: Pigmented areas may darken before flaking off naturally.

5. Avoid Heat: No hot baths, saunas, or intense workouts for 48–72 hours.

6. Follow-Up Visits: Complete the full course of 3–6 sessions for optimal results.

7. Report Any Unusual Reaction: If blistering or prolonged redness occurs, consult your practitioner or contact Krysmed support.

❗ Contraindications — Who Should Avoid IPL?

Although IPL is safe and non-invasive, certain conditions make treatment unsuitable or require special precautions.

Absolute Contraindications

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Use of photosensitizing drugs (e.g., tetracyclines, isotretinoin within 6 months)

• Active skin infections (herpes, eczema, psoriasis in the treatment area)

• Skin cancer or suspicious lesions

• Autoimmune or photosensitive disorders (e.g., lupus)

Relative Contraindications

• Darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI): require customized lower energy and advanced cooling.

• Recent tanning or sunburn

• Recent chemical peel, microneedling, or filler injections

• Use of topical retinoids or acids (should stop 2–4 weeks before)

• Implanted medical devices or metal implants near the area

Every client must complete a medical history form and informed consentbefore undergoing treatment.

Possible Side Effects of IPL & How to Prevent Them

Common temporary reactions: mild redness, warmth, tingling, or “coffee-ground” pigmentation.
Rare complications: blistering, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or infection — usually due to improper parameters or poor aftercare.

Prevention tips:
✔ Proper skin typing and parameter selection
✔ Adequate cooling during treatment
✔ Strict post-treatment sun protection
✔ Professional follow-up for any abnormal reaction

Combining IPL with Other Advanced Treatments

To maximize results and expand service offerings, IPL can be effectively combined with other popular non-invasive technologies:

• HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
  – Tightens deeper layers of the skin, while IPL improves surface tone and texture.

• RF Microneedling
  – Stimulates collagen remodeling at deeper levels; follow with IPL for brightening and color correction.

• LED Therapy
  – Provides calming post-treatment recovery, enhances circulation, and supports healing.

• Fractional CO₂ Laser
  – Ideal for advanced anti-aging and texture correction. After recovery, IPL can be performed to refine pigmentation and overall radiance.

By offering combination treatments, beauty professionals can provide customized skin programs that deliver comprehensive, long-lasting results.
