Book your consultation by phone or online to learn how IPL can enhance your skin’s natural beauty.

What is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a cosmetic treatment that uses controlled pulses of light to target pigment, redness, and other irregularities in the skin. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths that penetrate to different layers of the skin. This process breaks down unwanted pigmentation and stimulates collagen production, helping the skin appear clearer, smoother, and more even-toned.

IPL is commonly used to treat sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, and broken capillaries. It can also improve overall skin texture and reduce fine lines over time.

What happens during an IPL treatment?

Your IPL journey at VIP Health Family Clinic begins with a personalized consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine if IPL is right for you. Before treatment, a cooling gel may be applied to the skin, and you’ll wear protective eyewear for safety.

During the session, your provider uses a handheld device to deliver precise pulses of light to the targeted areas. Most treatments last about 20–45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You may feel a mild snapping sensation during the procedure, but most patients find it tolerable without the need for anesthesia.

After treatment, you may notice mild redness or darkening of spots, which typically fade within a week as your skin naturally renews itself.

What are the benefits of IPL?

Patients choose IPL for its ability to:

• Fade sunspots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation
• Reduce redness and visible blood vessels
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance
• Treat multiple areas, including the face, neck, chest, and hands

With minimal downtime, IPL allows most people to resume normal activities immediately.

How many IPL treatments will I need?

The number of sessions depends on your skin’s condition and desired results. Many patients see improvement after one session, but a series of three to five treatments spaced several weeks apart often provides optimal results. Your provider will recommend the ideal treatment plan for your goals.
