IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light therapy, is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, allowing it to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. The light energy is absorbed by pigment in the skin, breaking down discoloration and stimulating collagen production for a brighter, smoother complexion.
At The Hughes Center in Cherry Hill, NJ, we use IPL to treat rosacea, sunspots, freckles, broken capillaries, and overall skin discoloration. This treatment is ideal for individuals looking for a non-invasive way to improve skin clarity and reduce pigmentation issues. The Hughes Center uses the Sciton BBL & Palomar Icon by Cynosure.
During an IPL session, pulses of light are delivered to the skin using a handheld device. Patients may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
The treatment usually takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
There is no downtime, though mild redness or slight swelling may occur, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours.
Most patients see significant improvement after three to five treatments, spaced about four weeks apart.
Results continue to develop over time as the skin naturally sheds pigmented spots and regenerates with healthier, clearer skin.
IPL is safe for most skin types, though it works best for those with lighter skin tones and pigment-related concerns.
Sun protection is crucial after treatment, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure.
While IPL effectively reduces pigmentation, maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong results.
Patients should be using medical grade skin care in combination with the IPL treatment to get best outcomes and maintain the results of the treatment series.
