Why Fall is the Perfect Time for IPL Treatments

IPL
Written By In The Works WebDesign & SEO

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is one of the most effective ways to target sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone. Many clients ask when the best time of year is to book their IPL sessions. The answer is simple: fall.

Why IPL Works Best in Fall

  • Less Sun Exposure: IPL targets pigment and sun damage. After summer, your skin has had more sun, making fall the ideal time to treat it.

  • Reduced Risk of Hyperpigmentation: IPL requires avoiding sun exposure before and after treatment. Shorter, cooler days make it easier to stay out of the sun.

  • Prepare for the Holidays: IPL takes a few sessions for best results. Starting in fall means your skin looks clear and refreshed in time for winter events and holiday photos.

  • Healing Comfort: Post-treatment, skin can feel sensitive. Fall’s cooler weather is more comfortable compared to summer heat.

Benefits of IPL

  • Fades sun spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation

  • Reduces redness and broken capillaries

  • Improves skin texture and tone

  • Stimulates collagen for anti-aging benefits

  • Quick sessions with little to no downtime

Plan Your Treatments

For best results, IPL is done in a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Starting in the fall allows you to complete your sessions before spring, when you’ll want to be outside again.
