What is IPL Skin Treatment?
IPL skin treatment is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that targets pigments in the skin, breaking them down to improve the appearance of age spots, sun damage, rosacea, acne scars, and fine lines. This treatment uses a broad spectrum of light and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands, as most body parts,
WHAT CAN IPL SKIN TREATMENT DO?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is used to improve the appearance of the skin as it addresses many problems women ordinarily have. It is a non-invasive therapy that uses high-intensity pulses of light. Also called photofacial, IPL skin treatments can improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery.
Excessive sun exposure causes photoaging. Damage due to sun exposure is highly noticeable on the face, the neck, or your hands. IPL skin treatment can significantly improve the condition of your sun-damaged skin without ablating or removing its protective top layer.
IPL facials may also help if you have blotchy, red, or brown spots and irregular mottled skin caused by an illness. It can also help treat acne and remove stretch marks. Book a free consultation today to learn how IPL facials can help rejuvenate your skin.

FAQ
Tap on a question to see more!
IPL Skin treatment is used to break up areas of deep pigmentation on the arms, legs, face, neck, back, or shoulders. IPL skin treatment targets red & brown discolorations including birthmarks, liver spots, freckles, broken capillaries, dyschromia, melasma, café au lait macules, hyperpigmentation, freckles, port wine stains, and rosacea.
The bright light creates energy that is used to cauterize or close red vessels and break up pigmentation, reducing the appearance and color of red and brown spots.
If you are looking to decrease the visibility of freckles, broken capillaries, liver spots, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, or other areas of hyperpigmentation, then an IPL Photofacial is for you! Both men and women enjoy clearer looking skin after treatment!
The face, neck, chest, and arms usually have the best results; however, most areas of the body can be treated.
For individuals with skin that is Fitzpatrick type 1-4, treatment is extremely safe and should have minimal side effects and recovery time; however, individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types 5 or 6 are not candidates for treatment.
Individuals who are very tan or that have darker skin tones should not get an IPL skin treatment because the treatment targets pigment in the skin. You cannot receive an IPL Photofacial if you have an active herpes breakout or have used Accutane within the last 6 months.
Furthermore, those with a history of seizures are warned about the bright light that occurs at the beginning of treatment and, depending on the seizure history, possibly advised against treatment. Women that are pregnant or nursing are advised to postpone treatment, as is common with most elective procedures.
Fair to medium, untanned skin tones tend to have the best results! Those of Hispanic, Middle Eastern, or Asian heritage can receive IPL as long as they are untanned!
For 3 days prior to your treatment, do not use Retinols. For 2 weeks before treatment, avoid prolonged sun exposure. You may be turned away if you have a recent tan, as these pigments could be targeted by the treatment.
The number of treatments depends on the level of pigmentation in the treated area. Some individuals are happy with the results after one session, but 3 sessions are usually recommended to get clearer and brighter skin. If you have areas of severe deep pigmentation, 6 sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
Treatment typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes; however, the amount of time may vary depending upon the area or areas being treated. The arms can take as little as 15 minutes while areas on the face may take 20 to 30 minutes
During the process, you may feel a warm sensation at the treatment site.
There is a warm sensation during treatment. The majority of our patients can get the treatment without any numbing cream at all because the sensation is very mild and produces little to no discomfort. There may be a slight sunburn-like sensation after treatment. You can use ice packs or water mists to alleviate the sensation, which typically disappears in 12 hours.
The most important thing to remember is to moisturize and protect yourself from the sun. Avoid peeling, scratching, or using dermabrasion on the treated areas. Additionally, do not engage in watersports or get into a hot tub, a swimming pool, or the ocean for 1 to 2 weeks after your procedure.
You will have a clearer complexion with a more even skin tone after the pigmentation lightens!
Results are usually apparent in 1 to 2 weeks; however, some areas may take more time to become apparent.
Results are permanent; however, pigmentation can return for a variety of reasons, including sun exposure. Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended for certain clients.
Yes! Your skin will look more even and natural after treatment!
The length of time between treatments depends on your skin type and how well it heals. You will need to wait at least 2 to 4 weeks before getting another treatment.
No! You may notice the treatment area become slightly darker following treatment, which is why we recommend that treatment occur 2 to 4 weeks before any important event that you attend.
There are typically little to no side effects with an IPL Photofacial. Some redness is common after the treatment. Immediately after the procedure or in 1 to 2 days, the areas of pigmentation may darken and look flakey before becoming lighter and pink. This can last 1 to 3 days; however, you can cover these areas with makeup or tinted sunscreen.
For optimal results and to allow for adequate healing time, schedule your treatment for 2 to 4 weeks prior to the event.
You can travel immediately after treatment! Just remember that you must avoid prolonged sun exposure!
