What is IPL Photofacial?

IPL — Intense Pulsed Light — is a medical-grade light therapy that targets pigment and broken blood vessels in the skin. Unlike traditional lasers that use one wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths at once, allowing us to address several concerns in a single treatment: sun spots, age spots, freckles, redness, rosacea flushing, and visible facial veins.

The science is elegant: pigmented spots and red vessels absorb the light energy, which converts to heat. The heat damages the unwanted pigment or blood vessel, leaving the surrounding healthy skin completely untouched. Over the following 1-2 weeks, sun spots darken and "coffee-ground" away while broken vessels are reabsorbed by the body — revealing skin that looks years younger, more even, and more luminous.

IPL is one of the most popular anti-aging treatments in the world for good reason. It's effective, has minimal downtime, and the results compound beautifully when done as a series of 3-5 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

What IPL treats.

☀️

Sun Spots & Age Spots

The signature use of IPL — dramatically fades or eliminates brown spots from sun exposure on face, chest, hands, and arms.

🌹

Rosacea & Flushing

Reduces redness, visible vessels, and flushing — one of the most effective long-term rosacea treatments available.

💢

Broken Capillaries

Targets tiny visible veins on the nose, cheeks, and around the eyes — common with aging and sun damage.

Freckles

Reduces or removes scattered freckles on the face, neck, and décolletage for a smoother, more uniform complexion.

🎯

Uneven Tone

Evens overall skin tone, reduces blotchiness, and creates a more luminous, "lit-from-within" complexion.

Anti-Aging Maintenance

Stimulates mild collagen response and prevents future pigmentation when combined with proper SPF.

⚠️ Note: IPL is not recommended for melasma — we treat melasma with specialized protocols instead.

Sun spots, gone.

Common Questions.

How many sessions do I need?
Most clients see results after 3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Stubborn pigment may need 5-6.
Does it hurt?
Mild snap sensation. Less intense than laser hair removal. Most clients tolerate without numbing.
Is there downtime?
No downtime. Brown spots will darken and flake off over 5-7 days. Some redness for 1-2 hours.
Can I do IPL with a tan?
No. Tanned skin is at risk of burns. Must wait 2 weeks after sun exposure. Sun avoidance 2 weeks before & after.
Is IPL safe for darker skin?
IPL works best on lighter skin (Fitzpatrick I-III). Darker skin tones may have other better options — we'll discuss alternatives.
