Why do
Patients Choose
IPL?
…..
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that targets pigment, redness, and texture — all without damaging the surface of your skin. It’s a go-to solution for sun damage, broken capillaries, and uneven tone, leaving your skin visibly brighter, clearer, and more refined.
Common reasons patients choose IPL include:
- Reducing redness or broken capillaries
- Fading sun spots, age spots, and freckles
- Smoothing uneven skin tone or texture
- Treating rosacea or facial flushing
- Improving dull, tired-looking skin
- Restoring a radiant, even complexion with no downtime
What to Expect (Procedure Overview)
At Selarom, IPL is performed using professional-grade equipment by trained medical professionals. Your treatment is tailored to your skin tone, condition, and goals for safe, effective results.
Consultation & Planning
We start with a skin analysis to evaluate tone, sensitivity, and problem areas. You’ll learn what IPL can (and can’t) treat, how many sessions may be needed, and how to prepare your skin beforehand.
Treatment Day
Each IPL session lasts about 30–45 minutes. A cool gel is applied, and light pulses are delivered to the skin using a handheld device. You may feel a quick snap or mild heat, but discomfort is minimal.
Recovery
There’s little to no downtime. Some patients experience mild redness or darkening of pigment spots (which later flake off). You can return to most activities the same day — just avoid sun exposure and wear SPF.
Your Safety, Always
We use advanced IPL technology with built-in skin cooling to ensure comfort and safety for all skin types. Every treatment is adjusted to your needs and performed under the guidance of trained professionals for optimal results and minimal risk.

Does IPL hurt?
Most patients describe the feeling as a quick rubber band snap or warmth. It’s generally well-tolerated, and cooling gel is used for comfort.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on your skin goals. Most patients see optimal results after 3–5 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Is there downtime after IPL?
Not much — you may experience redness or darkening of pigmented areas for a few days. These usually fade or flake off naturally.
Can IPL be used on darker skin tones?
Caution is needed. We assess your skin tone carefully before treatment to ensure IPL is appropriate and safe for your skin type.
