5 Reasons to Consider an IPL Treatment 

Now that fall is in the air, you might be noticing the signs of summer skin damage. Dark spots are a common complaint, as are freckles and other signs of fun days in the sun. Or maybe you’re hoping to refresh and renew your skin in advance of the winter holidays. 

If a clearer, more evenly-toned complexion is your goal, an intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial can deliver impressive results — it’s among the most popular treatment options at  D’Allure Medspa in Dallas, Texas, and for good reason. 

Here are five reasons why you should consider treating your skin to an IPL photofacial this fall. 

IPL photofacials are noninvasive, yet powerful

An IPL photofacial is a noninvasive treatment option that triggers noticeable changes in the deeper layers of your skin. Unlike laser treatments, which use a single controlled beam of light, IPL uses pulses of different wavelengths of light. 

An IPL photofacial is powerful enough to blast apart areas of concentrated pigment and trigger new collagen production, but won’t damage the outermost layers of your skin. 

An IPL photofacial can address multiple skin concerns at once

You work hard for your money, so you deserve to get the very best value when you invest in medical aesthetics treatments. An IPL photofacial is a versatile treatment that can improve multiple skin concerns at once. 

Here are some of the issues that IPL photofacials can improve:

• Fine lines
• Sun spots
• Stretch marks
• Redness from rosacea
• Spider veins
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Birthmarks
• Hormone-related discoloration

The ability to improve the appearance of more than one skin issue during the same treatment makes IPL photofacials a great return on your investment. 

IPL photofacials don’t require recovery time

Unlike many other light-based therapies, IPL photofacials don’t disrupt the outermost layers of your skin. The light created during sessions seeks areas of pigment that are darker than the surrounding tissue. 

That light energy is converted into heat, which blasts apart pigment concentrations. Your body then processes and eliminates the pigment through your lymphatic system. There’s no need for downtime after your treatments. 

Many people don’t notice any side effects after IPL photofacials. When side effects do develop, they might include minimal tenderness, redness, and swelling. Similar to what skin feels like after a day in the sun. 

IPL photofacials can reduce the appearance of broken blood vessels

Spider veins are clusters of tiny red or purple veins that are visible through the surface of your skin. They develop when tiny valves in your veins aren’t working properly, allowing blood to pool in a section of the vein. 

Notoriously difficult to treat, spider veins respond well to IPL photofacials. It can take a series of sessions to eliminate spider veins completely, and it’s important to remain patient as your body clears the damaged vein tissue in the weeks after your sessions. 

IPL photofacials create noticeable but subtle results

One reason why so many people love IPL photofacials is the ability to improve the appearance of your skin without looking as though you’ve “had work done.” Treatments trigger a gradual improvement of hyperpigmentation or damaged veins. 

As the weeks pass, you’ll begin to notice your complexion becoming more evenly toned. As your body creates new collagen and elastin tissues after treatments, fine lines fadey. The result is a clearer complexion and tighter skin, without abnormal stretching or plumping.
