Intense Pulse Light (IPL), or Photofacials, are light-based pigment treatments that address uneven hyperpigmentation (age spots) on the face, neck, décolleté, and body. You can even spot treat with the IPL!
Treatment is quick and warm and is intended to break up pigment within the skin, in which case your lymph system will process it out, and topically, in which case you may see a “lift” of pigment that looks like coffee grounds flaking off the skin in the days following the treatment. For both processes, staying well hydrated is important prior to and after this treatment to help achieve greater results.
Topical home care treatments are great for pigment maintenance, but for greater pigment reduction, IPL is a great option. You may combine this treatment with Microneedling RF or laser resurfacing to get the optimal results. I typically recommend a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.
IPL Photofacial for Face & Neck Pigment Reduction
IPL Photofacial addresses uneven pigment on the face and neck. Hyperpigmentation from sun exposure may have originated years ago in your skin, and treating the pigment can mean a variety of treatment options, and IPL is typically the top of that list.

IPL Décolleté Pigment Reduction
Our décolleté/chest is a commonly neglected area, so sun damage and premature aging is a concern for many clients. Topical home care treatments are great for maintenance, but for greater pigment reduction, IPL is a great option.
30 minutes.
IPL Spot Pigment Reduction
If your concern is one or a few pigmentation spots in particular, a spot treatment may be the best option. Oftentimes, if there is a visible pigment spot, there is often more pigment looming in the skin that is not yet visible, so treating the full area may be the best option for long-term results.
15 minutes.
IPL Body Pigment Reduction
Pigment concerns aren’t always localized to face or hands, and we offer treatment for arms, back, legs and most areas of the body to help even tone and reduce uneven pigmentation.
15 to 75 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
