IPL Photorejuvenation at Skin Solutions
If you’re looking to reduce redness, pigmentation, and pore size while dramatically brightening your skin complexion, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a highly effective photo-facial therapy.
POWERFULLY EFFECTIVE AND NON-INVASIVE, IPL SIGNIFICANTLY BRIGHTENS AND EVENS SKIN TONE
The IPL system delivers high intensity pulses of light — not lasers — to gently rejuvenate your skin with many benefits:
- Reduces pigment
- Reduces redness
- Improves tone
- Reduces broken capillaries
- Refines pores
IPL is specifically effective in treating red blemishes caused by broken capillaries, the brown pigmentation of age spots, blotchy skin, freckles, and sun damage, as well as symptoms of rosacea.
HOW DOES IPL WORK?
IPL is a gentle, non-invasive, and nonsurgical procedure that treats skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface. IPL delivers powerful pulses of light that target problem areas while stimulating new collagen growth. During treatment, the light is converted to heat energy, which causes the melanin to shatter. In the weeks following IPL treatment, the shattered melanin particles are absorbed by the body, dramatically diminishing the redness and pigment of the original discoloration. Damaged blood vessels located deeper in the skin are treated at the same time and are reabsorbed in much the same way.
IPL EFFECTIVELY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY TREATS A WIDE RANGE OF SKIN CONCERNS ON THE FACE AND BODY.
HOW LONG DOES EACH IPL TREATMENT TAKE?
IPL takes about 30-45 minutes for a complete session.
CAN IPL BE PERFORMED YEAR-ROUND?
Yes. However, it’s not ideal to treat tanned skin with this treatment. The increased pigment can compete with the light’s typical targets and may decrease the effectiveness of IPL.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER IPL TREATMENT?
Most patients experience minimal to no side effects post IPL. However, it is possible you may experience redness, tightness, skin warmth, or swelling shortly after treatment. With minimal risk and little to no recovery time, IPL provides gradual improvement over time.

HOW MANY IPL TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
To achieve optimal results, IPL treatment should be done in a series of 3-6.
HOW LONG WILL IPL RESULTS LAST?
Results from IPL treatment are both immediate and progressive. IPL results are ongoing with maintenance treatments every 6 months. With regular maintenance and proper skincare, results may be maximized.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER IPL TREATMENT?
IPL is ideal for patients with light to medium skin tones.
