How Much Is IPL Treatment?

At Contour Medical Spa, we offer state-of-the-art Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments for clients seeking skin rejuvenation, pigmentation correction, and reduction of unwanted hair. IPL is a popular, non-invasive procedure designed to address a variety of skin concerns with minimal downtime.

The cost of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments can vary depending on factors like the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and your specific skin concerns. On average, clients can expect to pay between $200 and $500 per session. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip or chin, typically fall at the lower end of this price range, while larger areas like the full face, chest, or legs may cost more.

To achieve the best results, multiple sessions are usually recommended. The number of sessions needed depends on your individual skin goals and how your skin responds to the treatment. Generally, clients see noticeable improvements after several treatments, and ongoing maintenance sessions may be suggested to maintain optimal results. We believe in transparent pricing and personalized care. During your complimentary consultation at Contour Medical Spa, our experienced providers will assess your skin, discuss your desired outcomes, and provide a customized treatment plan with a precise cost estimate tailored specifically to your needs.

At Contour Medical Spa, we understand that every client’s skin is unique. The number of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) sessions required for optimal results depends on the specific skin concern being treated, the area of the body, and your individual skin type. The number of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) sessions needed typically depends on the skin concerns being treated. For general skin rejuvenation, most people require about 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart.

If you’re targeting specific issues, like sunspots, pigmentation, or rosacea, you may need more or fewer sessions based on the severity of the condition and how your skin responds. Many clients begin to notice improvements after just one session, but multiple treatments are usually necessary for more significant and lasting results. The total cost of IPL treatment will depend on how many sessions are required. Since individual sessions typically range from $250 to $600, the total cost can vary from $750 to $3,600 or more for a full treatment plan.

This can make the overall treatment more affordable, and some providers also offer financing options to help spread out the cost. Other factors, such as the size of the treatment area, your specific skin goals, and our team’s expertise, can also affect pricing. During your initial consultation at Contour Medical Spa, our experienced providers will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a customized plan—including a detailed cost estimate—so you know exactly what to expect.

After an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment, your face may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to the feeling of a mild sunburn. This redness is temporary and usually subsides within a few hours. Some clients may also experience mild swelling in the treated areas, but this typically resolves quickly. In addition to redness, you may notice that pigmented spots, such as sunspots or age spots, may darken or become more pronounced before they begin to fade. This is a normal part of the healing process and indicates that the treatment is working to break down excess pigmentation.

In the days following the treatment, you may notice that these dark spots or areas of redness gradually start to fade or flake off. Your skin may appear brighter and more even-toned as the treatment stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and follow any post-treatment care instructions to support healing and protect your skin. With multiple sessions, you can expect to see even more noticeable improvements in skin texture and clarity over time.

Most of our clients can return to their normal routines soon after leaving Contour Medical Spa. However, to achieve the best results, we recommend carefully following the aftercare instructions provided by your provider. This typically includes applying sunscreen daily and avoiding excessive heat or sun exposure while your skin heals. If you have any questions or concerns after your IPL treatment, our skilled team is here to support you every step of the way.

At Contour Medical Spa, your comfort and safety are our top priorities during every IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment. During an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment, you can expect the procedure to be relatively quick and non-invasive. The technician will apply a cooling gel to the treatment area to help protect your skin and then use a handheld IPL device to deliver pulses of light. These light pulses penetrate the skin’s surface to target issues like pigmentation, sunspots, redness, and overall skin tone. The treatment typically feels like a mild snapping or tingling sensation, but most people find it manageable.

Sessions typically last between 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually fades within a few hours. You may also notice that dark spots or redness may initially darken before they begin to fade. Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately, but it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products.

Depending on the skin concerns being addressed, multiple sessions may be needed for the best results. Visible improvement typically develops gradually, with the best results seen after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. At Contour Medical Spa, we encourage you to communicate any concerns or discomfort during your treatment so we can ensure your experience is as pleasant and effective as possible.
