Brighten Tone & Fade Redness
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) in Carson City
Reveal clearer, more radiant skin with IPL—designed to target sun damage, redness, and uneven pigmentation with minimal downtime.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), also known as a photofacial, is a non-invasive treatment that targets sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and even active acne.
By delivering pulses of light energy deep into the skin, IPL breaks up discoloration, calms redness, stimulates collagen production, and kills acne-causing bacteria—revealing a more even, radiant complexion.
This versatile treatment is ideal for addressing:
✔️ Sunspots & age spots ☀️
✔️ Redness, rosacea & broken capillaries 🌹
✔️ Uneven skin tone ✨
✔️ Acne and post-inflammatory marks 🩺
✔️ Dull skin & early signs of aging 💖
What to Expect:
IPL sessions typically last 30–45 minutes. You may feel a warm snap (like a rubber band) during treatment, but a cooling gel is used to keep you comfortable. Afterward, skin may look flushed for a few hours—similar to a mild sunburn. Dark spots may temporarily darken before flaking off within 7–10 days. Most patients need 3–5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart for best results.
There’s little to no downtime, but sun protection is essential to maintain your glow.
✨ Clearer skin is just a few pulses away. Let IPL reveal your natural radiance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is IPL different from laser treatments? IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light to target pigment and redness, while lasers typically use a single, focused wavelength. IPL is ideal for treating broader areas and multiple concerns like sun damage, redness, and acne.
