IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to gently penetrate the skin. This light targets pigmentation and blood vessels beneath the surface, breaking them down so the body can naturally eliminate them.
The treatment is especially effective for sun damage, freckles, redness, and uneven skin tone. Unlike lasers, IPL uses multiple wavelengths, allowing it to address a range of skin concerns in one session. At Opulence Medical Spa, we use advanced IPL technology for safe, comfortable treatments with refined results.
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin and determine if IPL is the right solution for you. During the procedure, a cooling gel is applied to the skin, and pulses of light are delivered through a handheld device. Many clients describe the sensation as a mild snap, similar to a rubber band.
The session usually lasts 30–45 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours. Dark spots may temporarily darken before fading, a normal part of the renewal process.
IPL photofacials are highly versatile and effective for treating:
By addressing these concerns, IPL helps restore a clearer, more youthful appearance without interrupting your routine.
The beauty of IPL lies in its balance of effectiveness and ease. Clients appreciate that sessions are quick, comfortable, and require little to no downtime.
Results improve progressively with each treatment, revealing clearer, more radiant skin. Beyond correcting discoloration, IPL also stimulates collagen, leading to gradual improvements in texture and overall skin health.
At Opulence Medical Spa, every treatment is tailored to your complexion and lifestyle. The result is skin that looks naturally clear, even, and refreshed.
IPL is ideal for clients with sun damage, redness, or pigmentation who want a non-invasive solution with minimal recovery time. The best candidates typically have lighter skin tones, as IPL targets pigment and may not be suitable for all complexions.
It is not recommended for those who are pregnant, have active infections, certain skin conditions, or are currently tanned. During your consultation, we will carefully review your skin type to ensure IPL is a safe choice for you.
IPL is gentle light therapy, and most clients resume their normal routine immediately after a session. Mild redness, warmth, or swelling may occur but typically subsides within a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken before gradually flaking away over one to two weeks, leaving the skin clearer and brighter.
Following post-treatment guidelines, such as avoiding sun exposure and using medical-grade sunscreen, will help protect your results.
Results from IPL are progressive. Most clients notice visible improvement after their first treatment. However, we recommend a series of three to five sessions, administered several weeks apart, for the best results. Over time, skin appears brighter, more even-toned, and more youthful.
With a good skincare routine and daily sun protection, the results of IPL can be long-lasting, helping you maintain clearer, more radiant skin.
