One of the most common questions we hear about IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is, “Will one session be enough?” The short answer: no. Just like sun damage and redness do not appear overnight, they do not disappear in one treatment. IPL works gradually and strategically, clearing pigment and redness layer by layer for a natural, even result.

Many people think of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) as a face-only treatment — a way to brighten complexion, fade sun spots, and reduce redness. But sun exposure does not stop at the jawline, and neither should skin rejuvenation. The neck, chest, and hands often show signs of aging even earlier than the face, making them key areas to treat if you want a truly youthful, even appearance.

If you are new to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, it is normal to feel curious — and even a little unsure — about what to expect. The good news is IPL is one of the most comfortable and efficient skin treatments available, and the experience is designed to feel smooth, controlled, and reassuring from start to finish.

When it comes to treating discoloration, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, two of the most popular options are chemical peels and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. Both aim to brighten and even out your complexion — but they work in very different ways.

If you have melasma and have been researching treatments, you’ve probably seen mixed opinions about IPL. Some people say it helped lighten their pigmentation, and others say it made it darker. The truth is not that IPL is “bad” for melasma — it is that melasma requires careful medical judgment, and the wrong approach can trigger a flare.

Melasma can be one of the most stubborn skin concerns to treat. It’s driven by hormonal changes and heat triggers, which is why some treatments can actually make it worse instead of better. So, where does CoolPeel fit in?
