sunblock. During your consultation, we may also recommend other skin
care to synergize your treatment. We have achieved superior result adding
chemical peels and medi-facials to your treatment plan.

It all depends on your circumstances. For many the initial damage
is due to sun or, even worse, tanning saloon. So if you can prevent further
unnecessary sun exposure or using proper sunblock, you may not need another
IPL treatment for 10-12 month or more.
