IPL Protocols
Pre IPL Skin Care
Beginning a home protocol of NeoGenesis S²RM® products prior to the IPL procedure will ensure that the skin has all the nutrients it needs to heal faster and more beautifully. Twice daily use of the NeoGenesis Cleanser, followed by Recovery serum, then Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream, is the best insurance to keep your skin its healthiest.
Pre-IPL Protocol; twice daily
- Gently cleanse the skin with the NeoGenesis Cleanser
- Apply 4 to 6 drops of NeoGenesis Recovery serum to the face and neck, including the eye area
- Finish with Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream
- Always wear a chemical free sunscreen during the day
Allow 14 days for the skin to fully heal. During this time, a post treatment protocol is recommended for complete healing.
Post IPL Skin Care
Following an IPL treatment, NeoGenesis Cleanser followed by Recovery should be used a minimum of twice daily to speed healing, reduce inflammation, irritation and downtime. In addition, our Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream may be used twice daily, or as often as needed, to hydrate the skin and provide proper barrier function. For immediate relief after the procedure, use our Moisturizing Mist as often as needed to cool irritated and heated skin.
IPL treatments done in a series are often scheduled four to six weeks apart. We recommend following the Pre and Post IPL home care suggestion to continue healing and improving the skin. After approximately 10 days, consult our mature/aging skin page for additional ideas to support your skin care.
Post-IPL Protocol; twice daily
- Gently cleanse the skin with the NeoGenesis Cleanser
- Mist with the NeoGenesis Moisturizing Mist
- Apply 4 to 6 drops of NeoGenesis Recovery serum to the face and neck, including the eye area
- May apply NeoGenesis Booster or Skin Serum here if skin is particularly dry
- Finish with Barrier Renewal Cream
- Always wear a chemical free sunscreen during the day
- Spritz the Moisturizing Mist throughout the day, as needed for soothing relief
Once the skin has achieved complete healing, Recovery may be continued at twice per day or a maintenance dose may be started at once per day or 3 to 4 times per week. Booster or Skin Serum may be used with Recovery or alternate daily use, followed by Light Moisturizer, Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream, twice daily.
