Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive light-based treatment that uses multiple wavelengths to target pigment, redness, and vascular lesions. Unlike a laser that uses a single wavelength, IPL devices deliver controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin to break up discoloration, absorb unwanted pigment, and minimize blood vessels near the surface.
IPL is ideal for improving overall skin tone, treating age spots, reducing sun damage, softening redness, and restoring a clearer, healthier-looking complexion. This makes it one of the most versatile light therapy treatments available for everyday concerns.
Your IPL photofacial begins with a gentle cleanse and protective eye shields. As the device glides over your skin, it delivers controlled light pulses that may feel like a quick “rubber band snap”—brief, tolerable, and made more comfortable by built-in cooling technology.
Treatments typically take 20–40 minutes, depending on the area treated. Most patients resume normal activity immediately afterward. Because IPL is non-ablative, it allows you to treat concerns effectively without downtime associated with more aggressive laser treatments.
IPL photofacials can improve a wide range of common skin conditions, including:
It can also be used to reduce unwanted hair in select areas using specific settings.
An IPL photofacial offers multiple complexion-boosting benefits, making it a favorite for anyone wanting clearer, more even-toned skin with minimal disruption:

IPL is ideal for patients seeking to correct pigmentation, redness, or sun damage without downtime. The best candidates are typically those with lighter to medium skin tones, as darker skin requires more careful evaluation due to melanin response.
If you’re pregnant, taking light-sensitizing medications, or have recently tanned, your provider may recommend waiting. During your consultation, we determine if IPL is the safest, most effective option based on your goals and skin type.
Most patients experience mild redness that fades within a few hours. Brown spots may temporarily darken and gently flake off over the next 5–7 days. This is expected and part of the process.
To protect your results:
There is no significant downtime, making IPL a convenient and effective choice for routine skin maintenance.
You’ll begin seeing clearer, brighter skin within 1–2 weeks. Brown spots gradually fade, redness softens, and overall tone becomes more even.
A series of 3–5 sessions spaced one month apart provides the best results. Improvements continue as the skin heals and regenerates from beneath the surface. With regular maintenance sessions, typically once or twice a year, your skin remains luminous, balanced, and youthful.
