Photorejuvenation with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that targets pigmentation, sun damage, and redness—leaving your skin visibly brighter and more even-toned. IPL reduces age spots, freckles, broken capillaries, and flushing caused by rosacea by delivering precise pulses of light that heat and break down unwanted pigment or vessels.
Common Treatment Areas
Face, neck, chest, back, arms, and hands
What to Know Before Your Treatment
To prepare your skin and ensure a safe and effective IPL session:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Tanned or sunburned skin increases the risk of burns or pigmentation changes.
- Discontinue self-tanning products and spray tans for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
- Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliants, or photosensitizing products at least 3 days prior
- Avoid waxing or depilatory creams in the treatment area for 48 hours prior.
- Inform your technician of any medications, skincare products, or medical conditions you may have.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and avoid applying any lotions, perfumes, or serums on the day of treatment.
