About the Treatment

Light-Based Renewal for Tone & Texture

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers precise wavelengths that target hemoglobin and melanin—the “reds and browns”—to address sun damage, freckles/age spots, broken capillaries, facial redness, and fine lines. Energy is delivered non-ablatively (upper skin layers remain intact) while encouraging fresh collagen below the surface.

  • Improves discoloration and diffused redness
  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
  • Collagen-supportive for smoother, brighter skin
Suggested Series
3–5 treatments
Face; body areas may need 4–6
Timing
Every 3–4 weeks

Before Your Visit

Pre-Care Tips

  • Avoid direct sun for 1 week; wear SPF 50 for at least 2 weeks.

  • Be gentle: no harsh scrubs or active acids until skin settles.
Most see progressive brightening over the series; collagen improvements continue to develop over several weeks.
FAQ

Common Questions

IPL uses broad-spectrum light with filters to target pigment and redness, while lasers use a single, specific wavelength. IPL is non-ablative and excellent for color correction and overall brightening.

You may see darkened spots (“coffee grounds”) that flake off over several days. Most redness resolves within hours to a day.

Social downtime is minimal. You can typically resume normal activities the same day, avoiding heat and sun exposure briefly as noted in aftercare.

We typically recommend a series of 3–5 sessions for the face, spaced every 3–4 weeks. Body areas may require 4–6 sessions.
