Hit Rewind on Sun Damage and Redness

Living with Utah's intense, high-altitude sun can take a toll on your skin. Our advanced IPL Photofacial is a powerful, light-based treatment designed to specifically target and eliminate the stubborn sun damage, age spots, and redness common in our climate, revealing beautifully clear skin.

What is an IPL Photofacial?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a popular and effective light-based therapy that addresses a variety of common skin concerns without damaging the surface of the skin. Unlike a laser that uses a single wavelength of light, an IPL treatment uses a broad spectrum of light. This energy penetrates the skin and is absorbed by excess pigment (melanin) in sun spots and the blood vessels that cause facial redness. The targeted cells are damaged by the heat and then naturally eliminated by the body, leaving behind a clearer, more even complexion.

Is an IPL Photofacial Right For You?

The Utah sun is relentless, and our high-altitude environment means UV exposure is a year-round concern that can lead to premature aging and skin damage. An IPL photofacial is the gold standard for anyone who wants to undo these visible effects without significant downtime. It's a highly effective solution for creating the clear, uniform skin tone that our climate makes challenging to maintain. You are a great candidate if you want to treat:

  • Sun Damage & Age Spots: Brown spots, "liver spots," and freckles on the face, neck, chest, or hands.
  • Rosacea & Facial Redness: Broken capillaries, persistent flushing, and redness associated with rosacea.
  • Uneven Skin Tone: General blotchiness and discoloration for a brighter complexion.
  • Acne Discoloration: Red or brown spots left behind after acne blemishes have healed.

Our Technology: The Advanced Dye-VL System

We utilize the advanced Dye-VL technology, a specialized and powerful form of IPL. This system uses a narrow band of light that specifically targets the hemoglobin (red) in blood vessels and the melanin (brown) in pigmented lesions. This high-precision approach allows for safer, more comfortable, and more effective results than traditional IPL, especially for stubborn vascular and pigmented spots.

How It Works: Your Path to a Clearer Complexion

Step 2: The IPL Treatment Session
During the treatment, you'll wear protective eyewear. A cooling gel is applied to your skin, and the smooth glass surface of the handpiece is gently pressed to the treatment area. You'll feel a quick, warm snap, like a rubber band, as the light is delivered.

Step 3: A Series for Optimal Results
For optimal clearance, a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced about four weeks apart, is typically recommended. After each session, you'll notice a gradual fading of spots and redness as your body clears away the treated cells.

Frequently Asked Questions about IPL

What does the treatment feel like?
The sensation is often described as a quick, warm snap, like a small rubber band against the skin. The feeling is very brief, and the procedure is well-tolerated by most patients.
What should I expect after the treatment?

It is common for brown spots to appear darker for a few days immediately after treatment. This is a positive sign that the treatment worked. These spots will then gradually flake off on their own, revealing clearer skin underneath. Redness may appear slightly faded or may temporarily look more pronounced before it begins to clear.

Is there any downtime?
There is typically no downtime with an IPL photofacial. You may experience some mild redness, similar to a sunburn, for a few hours. It is crucial to be diligent with sun protection before and after your treatments.
