How IPL Can Help Your Skin

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted wavelengths of light to improve sun damage, brown spots, facial redness, visible blood vessels, and uneven skin tone. At Bala Dermatology in Bala Cynwyd, IPL treatment can be customized based on your skin concerns and treatment goals.

What Is IPL Treatment?

IPL delivers pulses of broad-spectrum light that are absorbed by pigment and visible blood vessels in the skin. This can help reduce discoloration and redness while improving overall skin tone and clarity. Because IPL is non-ablative, it treats the skin without removing its surface layer.

What To Expect with IPL Treatment in Bala Cynwyd

Before treatment, we’ll review your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether IPL is appropriate for you. Protective eyewear is used during the procedure, and a cooling gel may be applied to the skin.

IPL sessions are usually relatively quick, although treatment time varies depending on the area being treated. Afterward, you may notice temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling. Brown spots may temporarily darken before gradually fading.

Patients considering IPL treatment in Bala Cynwyd often choose it to improve sun damage, redness, brown spots, and uneven skin tone.
