IPL treatment uses broad-spectrum light to improve skin tone, reduce redness, and target sun damage and pigmentation.
IPL, or intense pulsed light, is a light-based treatment used to improve discoloration, redness, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
Unlike traditional lasers that use one focused wavelength, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment and visible redness in the skin. It is commonly used on areas such as the face, neck, chest, and hands.
IPL can help brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of brown spots, redness, and photoaging. Most patients benefit from a customized treatment plan, and results often improve gradually as the skin responds.
IPL can improve sun damage, age spots, uneven pigmentation, and redness from visible small vessels. It can also support smoother texture and a brighter look by encouraging collagen production over time.
Treatment plans are customized to your skin type and the concerns being addressed.
During IPL, light pulses are applied to the treatment area. The energy targets melanin in pigmented spots and hemoglobin in vessels, helping the body gradually clear what was treated.
Most patients tolerate IPL well. Mild redness similar to a sunburn may appear afterward and usually resolves within hours to a day, and most patients return to normal activities immediately.
