Start Reaching Your Goals
Dr. Chilukuri and the Refresh Dermatology team are ready to guide you on your cosmetic journey.
Meet the Team
Patients will start by meeting with the Refresh Dermatology team for an initial consultation. Here, we can get a better sense of the specific challenges you’re dealing with and your goals for IPL treatment in Houston. Dr. Chilukuri and the team can then put together a treatment plan personalized to your needs.
Treatments
First, our highly trained aesthetician will clean your skin and apply a gel for the device. Then, they will use a handheld device that delivers pulsed light and move it over the treatment areas. Because the device can send out more than one wavelength of light, a photofacial can focus on several skin conditions at once.
Results
After your IPL treatment in Houston, you might experience some redness in the treated areas. It should subside within a few days, but we’ll provide you with more detailed aftercare instructions at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About IPL Treatment in Houston
You may see some initial results after any redness subsides. Because collagen takes time to grow in your skin, your optimal results will occur around one to two months after your last treatment.
More minor concerns might require only one or two IPL treatments in Houston. For bigger concerns and better results, we typically recommend three to five treatments.
