What Is an IPL PhotoFacial?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment irregularities and vascular lesions in the skin. The energy heats the pigment or blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue, allowing your body to naturally clear the treated areas over time.
IPL PhotoFacials are commonly used to treat:
- Sun spots and freckles
- Redness from rosacea
- Broken capillaries
- Uneven skin tone
- Melasma (in some cases)
- Dull or tired-looking skin
It’s most effective on fair to medium skin tones and is typically performed on the face, neck, chest, or hands.
What to Expect During Treatment
An IPL session usually takes about 30–45 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or mild stinging, similar to a rubber band against the skin.
Here’s what happens during treatment:
- Your skin is cleansed and prepped.
- A cooling gel may be applied for comfort.
- The IPL handpiece delivers quick pulses of light to the treatment area.
- Aftercare products and sunscreen are applied before you leave.
After treatment, you may notice temporary redness or darkening of pigmented spots, which usually fade over several days. Multiple sessions (typically 3–5) spaced a few weeks apart provide the best results.
Is IPL Right for Your Skin Concerns?
IPL is ideal for treating surface-level discoloration and vascular issues. It’s not designed for deep wrinkles or significant skin laxity. During your consultation, a qualified provider at NeoMed Spa will assess your skin type and concerns to determine whether IPL or another treatment is the best match.
