If you’ve ever wished for smoother, more even skin without a lot of downtime, let me introduce you to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). It’s one of my favorite treatments to recommend because it works on so many common skin concerns—sunspots, redness, and even uneven skin tone. If you’re curious about what it’s all about, let’s break it down!

So, What Is IPL?

Think of IPL as a way to reset your skin. It’s a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light energy to target specific problem areas in your skin. Whether it’s dark spots, redness, or fine lines, IPL helps clear things up and leaves your skin looking refreshed.

It's sometimes called a photofacial for a reason—your skin will appear more radiant and evenly toned, as if you're glowing in perfect lighting.

What Can IPL Help With?

Here’s where IPL really shines (pun intended):

  • Sunspots & Age Spots: If you’ve spent a little too much time in the sun (no judgment here), IPL can fade those dark spots.
  • Redness & Rosacea: Struggling with redness or visible blood vessels? IPL can calm things down and even out your complexion.
  • Acne Scars: While it won’t erase deep scars, IPL can reduce discoloration, making them less noticeable.
  • Freckles: If you’re looking to lighten freckles, IPL can help with that too!

 

What to Expect During Your Appointment

When you come in for IPL, we’ll start by cleansing your skin and applying a cooling gel to make sure you’re comfortable. You’ll wear some stylish protective goggles while the IPL device works its magic.

Most people describe the sensation as quick snaps, like a rubber band flicking your skin—it’s totally manageable! Depending on the area, the session usually lasts 30-45 minutes.

To get the best results, most patients need a series of 3-5 treatments spaced about four weeks apart. We’ll talk about what’s right for you when we meet!

What Happens After Treatment?

This is the part I love telling people: there’s little to no downtime! Your skin might look slightly pink afterward (like a light sunburn), and dark spots may darken temporarily before flaking off—that’s just the treatment working.

It’s super important to protect your skin after IPL. I’ll remind you to avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily to keep your results looking amazing.

Is IPL Right for You?

IPL is great for a wide range of skin concerns, but it works best on lighter to medium skin tones. If you’re unsure, don’t stress—that’s what consultations are for. We’ll go over your goals and make sure IPL is the right fit for your skin.

This treatment checks so many boxes: it’s efficient, customizable, and it doesn’t require you to put your life on pause. Whether you’re prepping for a special occasion or just want to feel more confident in your skin, IPL is a great option to consider.
