IPL Laser Treatment
What is an IPL laser treatment
An IPL laser treatment can be used to treat a myriad of skin conditions. IPL is used to treat acne, pigmentation due aging and sun damage, vascular concerns and redness. An IPL is a great treatment choice for those individuals desiring minimal downtime.
With the IPL laser, the amount of treatments needed depends on the type and severity of the condition that is being treated. Patients with moderate to severe acne can require ongoing treatment for several months and intermittent treatments thereafter to keep their acne in control. For patients treating brown spots and pigmented areas, it depends on the severity and type of pigmentation. In many cases a series of 3-4 treatments is common. Maintenance treatments thereafter may be required depending on sun exposure and other factors.
After your IPL treatments at Summers Aesthetics Medspa, it is important that you follow your post procedure treatment plan. This will allow for minimal downtime and optimal results. Many of our clients at Summers Aesthetics choose IPL to help resolve pigmentation brought on by age and sun damage. It is important to wear daily SPF and protect your skin from the sun after these treatments to maintain your results.

Injectable neurotoxin treatments, sometimes referred to as “wrinkle relaxers”, are ideal for clients that desire to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows (glabellar creases), and crow’s feet that are caused by muscle movement (dynamic lines). Neurotoxin treatments can also be used along the jawline, in the platysma bands of the neck and in the lower face to to give clients a lifted and refreshed look. During your visit our team will consult with you and help you decided which neurotoxin product and treatment is right for you.
During your treatment you can expect minimal discomfort. You can anticipate your treatment to take 10 minutes or less once your consultation and care plan have been completed.
Following your appointment and injections, you can expect minimal downtime. We do ask that you avoid the following:
- exercise for 24 hours post-treatment
- avoid wearing hats or visors the day of treatment
- do not lay flat for 4 hours post-treatment
- avoid massage or pressure to the treated areas
- you may reapply makeup after treatment, but apply gently.
You might see some slight bruising, redness, and/or small area of swelling at the injection site , but these symptoms are temporary. Over the next few days, you will begin to see the beginning of your results setting in. Expect to wait a full 14 days for the maximum results. Onset of results can be shorter or longer than a few days depending on the neurotoxin product used.
The effective window of neurotoxin treatments utilizing Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, or Jeuveau® will vary from person to person, but you can expect the results to last between three and four months. With Daxxify® you can generally anticipate four plus months of effective duration, although every client is different. Once the window of effectiveness closes, your full normal muscle function returns (along with the lines and wrinkles) associated with the muscle movement.
Not really! Very thin needles are used to inject neurotoxins. Most Summers Aesthetics clients report little to no discomfort outside of a slight pinch or a little pressure during the procedure.
