Whether you want to reverse years of sun damage or simply refresh your complexion, our IPL treatments deliver noticeable, natural-looking results.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), commonly known as a Photofacial, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation and vascular imperfections beneath the skin’s surface.
The light energy is absorbed by excess melanin and blood vessels, breaking down discoloration while stimulating the body’s natural healing process. At the same time, IPL encourages collagen production, improving overall skin texture, firmness, and radiance.
Unlike laser treatments that focus on a single wavelength, IPL uses multiple wavelengths to address several skin concerns during one treatment, making it a versatile solution for facial rejuvenation.

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment to determine whether Photofacial (IPL) is right for you.
Before treatment, your skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is provided. A cooling gel may be applied to maximize comfort during the procedure.
The IPL device delivers gentle pulses of light across the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap against the skin with minimal discomfort.
Treatment sessions typically take between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.
Following treatment, mild redness similar to a light sunburn may occur for a few hours. Pigmented spots often darken temporarily before naturally flaking away over the following days, revealing clearer and more even-toned skin.
For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended based on your individual skin concerns.
Most patients achieve the best results with 3 to 5 treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as a quick snapping sensation. The treatment is generally well tolerated.
There is little to no downtime. Mild redness or slight swelling typically resolves within a few hours, allowing most patients to return to normal activities the same day.
Many patients notice brighter skin after their first treatment. Pigmentation and redness continue to improve over the following weeks as your skin naturally heals and collagen production increases.
IPL is most effective for reducing acne-related redness and pigmentation. For deeper acne scars, other treatments such as microneedling or skin resurfacing may be recommended.
