Reveal Radiant Skin with IPL Photorejuvenation
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of your skin by reducing sun damage, dark spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. This non-invasive treatment uses light energy to target pigment and vascular irregularities, leaving your skin clearer, smoother, and more youthful-looking - often with little to no downtime.
Whether you’re looking to fade age spots, minimize redness, or refresh dull skin, IPL is a safe, effective way to restore your natural glow.
FAQs
How does IPL work?
IPL uses powerful pulses of light energy to target pigment and vascular irregularities beneath the skin’s surface. The light energy is absorbed by unwanted pigment (like brown spots) or blood vessels (causing redness), which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time.
Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL uses multiple wavelengths, making it effective for treating a range of skin concerns across larger areas.
What can I expect during my IPL treatment?
Your skin will be cleansed and a cooling gel applied before treatment. During the procedure, you’ll feel a mild snapping or warming sensation as the light pulses are delivered.
Most sessions takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the area treated. Mild redness or swelling may occur after treatment but usually fades within a day or two.
Am I a candidate for IPL?
IPL is ideal for those looking to treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea or facial redness, uneven skin tone, and fine lines and enlarged pores.
It is best suited for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-IV) as darker skin may have higher risks of pigmentation changes. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and customize your treatment plan for safe, effective results.
What should I expect after my IPL treatment?
After your IPL session, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or a slight sunburn-like sensation in the treated area. This typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Brown spots or pigmented areas may temporarily darken before they gradually flake off over the next 5-7 days.
How should I care for my skin after IPL?
Keep your skin clean and moisturized.
Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours.
Avoid sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily (SPF 30+) for at least 2-4 weeks.
Do not pick or scrub any darkened spots as they heal naturally.
When will I see results from IPL?
Many patients begin noticing improvement within 1-2 weeks after treatment, as dark spots fade and redness diminishes. However, optimal results often appear after a full series of treatments - typically 3-5 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart.
How long do IPL results last?
With proper skin care and sun protection, IPL results can last for many months or even longer. Many patients choose periodic maintenance treatments to keep their skin looking fresh and even-toned.
