South Bay IPL for Sun Damage, Redness, and Pigment
IPL Photofacial uses intense pulsed light to target discoloration, redness, and early texture change while supporting collagen renewal. Pigment and vascular spots absorb the light, then fade as the body clears them. Treatments are quick with little interruption to your day.
At Skin Works Medical Spa in Torrance, we tailor IPL to address sun damage, age spots, broken capillaries, rosacea patterns, and select acne related marks. Plans are personalized to your skin type and goals for clear, even tone.
Precise pulses of light pass into the skin and are absorbed by brown and red targets. These spots heat, then fade as the body clears them. The gentle thermal effect can also support collagen for smoother texture.
