IPL in Hongdae – Brighten Skin & Clear Imperfections
Struggling with redness, pigmentation, or dull skin tone? IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a versatile, non-invasive treatment that targets a wide range of skin concerns—from sun damage and freckles to visible blood vessels and enlarged pores. At our clinic in Hongdae, we offer customized IPL treatments to reveal clearer, brighter, and more even-toned skin—without downtime.
What is IPL?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum pulses to penetrate the skin and target pigmentation, redness, and uneven tone. Unlike lasers, IPL uses multiple wavelengths to treat multiple skin issues simultaneously.
IPL is commonly used to treat:
- Sunspots and age spots
- Redness and rosacea
- Freckles and pigmentation
- Acne marks
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines
- Dull, rough texture
Why Choose IPL?
Key Benefits:
✅ Non-invasive with minimal discomfort
✅ No downtime—resume daily activities immediately
✅ Treats multiple skin concerns in one session
✅ Gradual, natural improvement in skin clarity
✅ Boosts collagen for smoother, firmer skin
✅ Safe and effective for face, neck, hands, and chest
How IPL Works
IPL delivers light energy to the deeper layers of the skin, where it is absorbed by pigmented or vascular areas. This breaks down unwanted pigmentation or vessel structures, which are naturally eliminated by the body over time. It also stimulates collagen regeneration for improved texture and elasticity.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel will be applied before treatment. A handheld IPL device is used to deliver precise flashes of light to the targeted areas. You may feel a slight snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band.
- Duration: 20–30 minutes depending on the area
- Comfort: Minimal discomfort; numbing is typically not required
- Post-care: Mild redness or warmth may occur but usually fades within a few hours. We recommend sun protection for several days post-treatment.
Who is a Good Candidate?
IPL may be ideal if you:
- Have light to medium skin tone
- Struggle with pigmentation, redness, or dull skin
- Want to improve overall clarity and texture
- Prefer a gentle, non-surgical approach
- Are not tanned or recently sun-exposed
Those with darker skin tones or active acne may need alternative treatments. A consultation will help determine your best option.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Visible results can appear after just one session, but a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help preserve clarity and glow.
