The Treatment

How IPL
Works on Skin.

Intense pulsed light uses broad-spectrum wavelengths to break up pigment and reduce visible redness, without damaging the skin's surface. You'll see clearer, more even tone over the days that follow.

  1. 01

    Consultation & Mapping

    We assess your skin tone, history, and goals, then map your treatment areas.

  2. 02

    Light, Layered Gently

    Calibrated pulses pass over each area in measured passes. You'll feel warmth, not pain.

  3. 03

    Renewal Over Days

    Pigment darkens and lifts away over 7–10 days while the skin heals.

What It Addresses

What IPL
Treats.

IPL targets four visible concerns. Pigment lifts and redness fades as your skin clears over the days that follow.

01

Sun Damage

Brown spots, age spots, freckling from accumulated UV exposure.

02

Redness

Rosacea, persistent flushing, broken capillaries.

03

Uneven Tone

Mottled tone, dullness, loss of brightness.

04

Skin Clarity

Smoother texture and a brighter overall complexion.

Recommended Plan

Three Treatments,
Four Weeks Apart.

We recommend three IPL sessions spaced about four weeks apart, then one or two maintenance visits per year.

Visit One · Week 0

Foundation Session

The deepest pigment lifts first. Expect a soft darkening before it sheds.

Visit Two · Week 4

Tone Evens

Mid-depth pigment and broken capillaries start to fade.

Visit Three · Week 8

Refinement

Final session. Tone evens out, brightness improves, and the result holds.

Maintenance · Seasonal

Preserving the Results

One or two visits per year to maintain your results.

Before & After Your Visit

Your Prep
and Aftercare.

A few steps in the weeks before your visit, and the days after.

01 · Before

PreparingYour Skin.

In the four weeks leading up to your visit.

  • Avoid sun & self-tanner.For four weeks before your visit. An active tan or burn delays your appointment.

  • Pause active ingredients.Retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and benzoyl peroxide for 5–7 days before.

  • Arrive bare-faced.Clean skin only. No makeup, sunscreen, or moisturizer on treatment areas.

  • Disclose recent medications.Tell us about antibiotics, isotretinoin in the last 6 months, and any photosensitizing prescriptions.

02 · After

AfterYour Session.

In the 7–10 days following each session.

  • Wear sunscreen daily.Broad-spectrum SPF 30+, every day. Skipping it will undo the treatment.

  • Gentle cleansers only.Skip exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients for five days.

  • Cool down 24 hours.No hot water, saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous workouts the day of.

  • Let pigment shed naturally.Spots may darken before they lift. Don't pick or scrub. The process takes 7–10 days.

Questions We Hear Often

You'll Want
To Know

If yours isn't here, bring it to your consultation. We'd rather answer twice than rush you.

IPL is best suited to lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III). Every consultation includes a skin-tone evaluation and a small test pulse on your first visit. If we don't think it's safe for your skin, we won't proceed.

Most clients describe it as a warm rubber-band snap. Pulses are brief. Cooling is available if you'd like.

None to minimal. You may notice mild redness for a few hours, then darkening of the pigment for 7–10 days before it sheds. You can wear makeup the next day.

Initial brightening shows within 7–14 days of your first session. The full effect (even tone, less pigment, less redness) develops across the series of three.

Years, with disciplined sun protection. Most clients come in for one or two maintenance sessions per year.

We schedule IPL primarily fall through early spring. Treating tanned skin isn't safe or effective. If you've had too much sun, we'll reschedule.
