youthful & Even Complexion.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) technology uses powerful, pulsed light to achieve skin improvement in a procedure commonly known as phototherapy. The procedure is sometimes called a photofacial, though it can be used on any area of the body. The highly adjustable device allows the clinician to select the most appropriate settings for each patient’s skin type and specific concerns.

How Does IPL Work?

As the name suggests, Intense pulsed light (IPL) utilizes an array of light wavelengths, making it appropriate for a variety of skin concerns, especially those from sun exposure and aging. IPL specifically targets reds (hemoglobin) and browns (melanin) to promote a beautifully consistent complexion.


Using light to treat various dermatological conditions has been around since the 1990s. The rising popularity of the technology is due to its ability to improve different skin conditions and turn back the clock on skin aging.


Studies have shown that treatments can improve the genetic expression patterns of aged skin, making it more closely resemble healthy youthful skin.

What Can IPL Treat?

IPL therapy induces tissue coagulation, which helps firm the skin and restore it to a more youthful state. Photothermal energy also targets melanin to improve uneven pigmentation, and it acts on spider veins and broken capillaries thus reducing or eliminating facial redness. Because this treatment is especially gentle, most people are good candidates. However, it is important to tell your provider about any medications that you are taking, because extreme light sensitivity can be a side effect of certain drugs.

Is IPL a Popular Treatment?

This is a popular facial treatment, and it can be used on other areas of the body as well.

IPL treatment is an excellent solution for treating:


Fine Wrinkles

Age Spots

Sun Spots

Skin Blemishes

Small Facial Veins

Tightens & Firms Skin

Recovery & Results

There is little to no downtime associated with phototherapy. Red areas may begin fading immediately, but full results might take some time to develop. Brown spots may initially appear darker as the skin prepares to shed them. After a few days, these spots flake off, revealing a more youthful, radiant, even-toned complexion.
