IPL and many lasers are absorbed by pigment. Tanned skin has more of it, which raises the risk of irritation, so providers often wait or adjust settings.
What we suggest
Start an IPL series in fall, after pool season, and finish by spring. Summer is a good time for neuromodulators and hydrating facials.
Every day
A broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, reapplied outdoors. It protects whatever you have invested in.
