About This Treatment
How IPL Photofacial Works
Intense Pulsed Light delivers broad-spectrum light energy that selectively targets melanin (brown pigment) and hemoglobin (red pigment) in the skin. Unlike lasers that emit a single wavelength, IPL uses a range of wavelengths that can be filtered and customized to address your specific concerns, whether that's sun spots, rosacea, or both.
When the light energy is absorbed by damaged cells, it converts to heat, causing the pigmented or vascular lesions to break down. Over 1 to 2 weeks, your body's natural processes eliminate the treated cells, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin underneath. Brown spots darken and flake off; redness and broken capillaries gradually fade.
At IRIS Aesthetics, IPL treatments are delivered by our Aesthetics Team under the direction of Adrianna Jensen, MD, using a medical-grade device with customized wavelength and energy settings. This physician-led approach ensures each session is precisely calibrated to your skin type, concerns, and tolerance, delivering strong results with a high standard of safety.
