What is IPL?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a versatile, non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to target discoloration, pigmentation, and other skin imperfections. Our unique IPL technology gently and effectively emits a range of wavelengths to eliminate multiple skin issues simultaneously, providing effective results without damaging surrounding tissues. Our IPL works on eliminating brown and red spots, discolorations, and unwanted blood vessels by using light energy that is converted to heat energy. It typically targets red or brown-pigmented cells, destroys the damaged cells, and regenerates healthy cells. The light that is not absorbed by the pigment (i.e. an age spot) scatters throughout the skin and will heat the water in the skin and other tissue creating a collagen-stimulating effect. If combined with other technologies like RF Microneedling, triLift, or Resurfx synergistically gives better results by both collagen production to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, tone, and contouring.
What Does IPL Do?
IPL works by delivering light energy into the skin, which is absorbed by pigmented cells and blood vessels. The light converts to heat, breaking down unwanted pigmentation and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This process helps:
- Fade sunspots, age spots, freckles, and pigmented lesions
- Treatment of uneven skin tone
- Reduce the appearance of birth marks and vascular lesions
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improve the look of broken capillaries and redness.
- Tighten and rejuvenate the skin for a youthful glow.
- Facial hair removal
- Treat acne scars by reducing inflammation and bacteria.

What to Expect During an IPL Treatment
Here’s a step-by-step overview of what you can expect during your IPL session:
- Preparation: Your provider cleanses the treatment area and applies a cooling gel.
- Treatment: The IPL device emits light pulses that may feel like a quick snap or mild warmth.
- Duration: Treatments typically take 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
- Most patients describe IPL treatment as mildly uncomfortable, likening the sensation to a quick snap of a rubber band. However, at Alpha Medical Aesthetics, we ensure a comfortable experience by utilizing Zimmer Chiller, numbing cream, and Pro-Nox laughing gas when necessary to minimize discomfort.
The process is non-invasive, and you can return to most daily activities immediately after.
