Remember all those sunny Colorado days?

Your skin might.

Sun spots, uneven pigmentation, and visible redness are some of the most common concerns we hear about at Barris. And while sunscreen is always a good idea, sometimes you want to address the damage that’s already there.

That’s where IPL for sun spots comes in. This light-based treatment can help improve the appearance of sun damage, pigmentation, and certain types of redness.

So, What Exactly Is IPL?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It’s a light-based treatment that targets certain types of pigmentation and redness without traditional laser resurfacing.

Think brown spots, freckles from sun exposure, and some visible blood vessels.

The goal? A more even-looking complexion while keeping your skin looking like your skin.

Does It Hurt?

Most people describe IPL as a quick, warm snap against the skin. It’s generally pretty tolerable, although everyone’s comfort level is different.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

That depends on your skin and what we’re treating. Some people notice improvement after one session, but a series is often recommended.

Is Winter a Good Time for IPL?

It can be! Less sun exposure makes it easier to follow the precautions that come with treatment.

And yes, sunscreen still matters. Even in November. Even in Colorado.

Wondering If IPL Is Right for You?

Not every brown spot or skin type is a good candidate for IPL. That’s why we always want to take a look at your skin first.

Come see us. Let’s talk about those spots.
