What is IPL?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light therapy, is a cutting-edge, non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses high-intensity light pulses to improve the appearance of skin. IPL differs from other laser treatments by emitting a range of wavelengths, making it versatile enough to target various skin conditions in one go.
IPL is a highly versatile treatment, and effectively targets a wide range of skin concerns, such as:
Sun damage and age spots
Broken capillaries and spider veins
Freckles and pigmentation issues
Fine lines and wrinkles
Rosacea and facial redness
Uneven skin texture
IPL offers an excellent solution for individuals looking to refresh their skin without the recovery time required by more invasive treatments. While suitable for most skin types, those with darker skin tones should consult our specialists to confirm if IPL is the right choice for them.
How Does IPL Work?
IPL functions through a process called selective photothermolysis. Here’s how it works:
Light emission
Targeted absorption
Heat generation
Cellular breakdown
Natural healing
The IPL procedure is typically quick and comfortable. The treatment may cause a slight stinging sensation, commonly compared to a quick snap of a rubber band against your skin. Most patients find this tolerable, and we can provide cooling gels or numbing creams if needed.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
IPL is a flexible treatment suitable for multiple areas of the body. At Ageless Health Institute, we commonly treat the following areas:
Face
Neck
Chest
hands
arms
back
Legs
IPL is particularly effective for treating areas that have experienced sun damage or show signs of aging. While IPL can be used on many body parts, the face, neck, and chest are the most popular treatment areas due to their frequent sun exposure and visibility.

IPL therapy offers numerous benefits for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance and overall health. Some key advantages include:
Versatility
Minimal downtime
Gradual, natural-looking results
Collagen stimulation
Customizable treatment

Value Considerations
When considering the cost of IPL treatments, it’s essential to weigh the value they provide:
- Long-lasting results compared to some other cosmetic treatments
- The versatility to address multiple skin concerns in a single session
- The ability to return to your daily activities quickly
- Potential to boost confidence and self-esteem through improved skin appearance
Treatment frequency varies based on your skin concerns and goals. Typically, 3-6 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart are suggested for optimal results, while conditions like hair removal may require 6-12 sessions.
Most patients describe IPL as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Many patients describe the feeling as a rubber band snapping against the skin. We can provide cooling gels or numbing creams to enhance your comfort during the procedure.
Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness and a sensation similar to a sunburn for a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken temporarily before flaking off over the next 7-14 days. It’s essential to wear a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from sun exposure and follow our post-treatment care instructions.
The results of IPL treatments can last months to a year, influenced by your skin condition and sun protection. To prolong the outcome, we recommend that you get maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.
While IPL is generally safe, potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, and changes in skin pigmentation. Rare complications such as blistering or scarring can occur. Carefully following pre- and post-treatment instructions can minimize these risks.
IPL can be effectively combined with other treatments like microdermabrasion or chemical peels for enhanced results. Our specialists can create a treatment plan combining complementary procedures to address your skin concerns.
To prepare for IPL, avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least 2-4 weeks before treatment. Discontinue retinoids and other photosensitizing medications as advised by your provider. On the day of treatment, come with clean, makeup-free skin4.
