IPL Light Offers Significant Skin Improvement For Several Skin Issues.
IPL stands for “Intense Pulsed Light,” which is a laser light treatment (often referred to as a photofacial) that effectively targets brown spots, red spots, sun damage, rosacea, and a host of other skin concerns. During this revolutionary treatment, a bright light passes through the epidermis, helping to draw out pigment-producing cells and dispersing them to provide noticeable improvement in skin tone. IPL treatments can safely be performed on the face, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, legs, back and other areas of the body. IPL is also great for treating broken veins and spider veins.
How do IPL treatments work?
The IPL device uses multiple wavelengths of light to safely penetrate the skin and target the cells that produce pigment just below the surface. The light energy then converts to heat, which gently destroys the melanin-producing cells to alleviate hyperpigmentation and other unwanted skin anomalies in the process. Damaged cells are pulled to the surface, eventually flaking off to reveal beautiful, healthier-looking skin underneath.
What skin conditions can IPL treat?
IPL laser treatments can help improve the appearance of a list of skin concerns, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rosacea
- Redness
- Enlarged pores
- Acne
- Sun damage
- Lines and wrinkles
- Broken veins and spider veins
- Birthmarks
- Freckles
- Liver spots
Am I a candidate for IPL treatments?
If you wish to improve your skin tone by reducing pigmentation issues or addressing any of the issues mentioned above, then an IPL treatment may be a good option for you. At Derm Aesthetics of Northern Kentucky, we’ll discuss your specific concerns, explain the IPL procedure in detail, and help you decide if it is the best option for you.
How many IPL treatments will I need?
Though most people see improvement after one treatment, a series of IPL sessions are generally recommended to achieve optimum results. We’ve found that three to five treatments spaced about four weeks apart offer the most desired results. This, of course, will depend on your skin and what you’d like addressed. We’ll discuss your specific goals at your consultation and determine the exact number of treatments needed for best results.

What are the results I can expect following my IPL treatment?
IPL effects are typically gradual. The majority of patients begin to see beneficial changes in their skin within a week to 10 days following treatment. Other areas of the body may take upwards of six to eight weeks to show full improvement. If a series of treatments are recommended, as is typical, you’ll see increasingly positive results throughout and eventually achieve the smooth, radiant complexion you aspire to have.
