Colorado’s sunshine is wonderful, but it can take a toll on your skin. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation helps reduce the appearance of sun spots, brown spots, redness, and uneven skin tone for a clearer, more even complexion. At Barris Laser & Skincare, we personalize each treatment to your skin and your goals.
IPL photorejuvenation is a versatile treatment that helps improve the appearance of:
- Sun spots, age spots, and freckles
- Uneven pigmentation and sun damage
- Facial redness and visible blood vessels
- Redness associated with rosacea
- Blotchy or uneven skin tone
IPL works by delivering pulses of light that target unwanted pigment and visible blood vessels, helping your skin look clearer and more even.
Absolutely! Years of Colorado sunshine can leave behind brown spots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation. IPL can help reduce the appearance of these concerns, along with certain types of facial redness and visible capillaries.
It’s one of our popular options for addressing visible sun damage without more extensive resurfacing treatments.
IPL generally works best on lighter skin tones with visible sun damage, pigmentation, or redness. At Barris, our IPL treatments may be appropriate for Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV, depending on your individual skin characteristics.
Recent tanning, sunburn, certain medications, and skincare products can affect treatment safety. We’ll evaluate your skin and discuss your goals before recommending IPL.
IPL is an established treatment when performed by a trained professional on appropriately selected skin.
Temporary redness, mild swelling, and darkening of pigmented spots are common after treatment. Less common risks include blistering, burns, and changes in skin pigmentation. We’ll review potential risks and aftercare instructions with you before treatment.
Most clients describe IPL as a quick snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin. Treatments are generally well tolerated.
You may experience temporary redness or mild swelling afterward. Brown spots often darken before gradually fading or flaking away. Many clients return to their regular activities quickly, although recovery varies depending on the treatment and your skin.
Sun protection is especially important following IPL.
The number of treatments depends on your skin, the concerns being addressed, and your goals. A series of three treatments may be a good starting point, with sessions typically spaced about four to six weeks apart.
Some clients benefit from additional treatments or occasional maintenance sessions. We’ll help determine an appropriate plan during your consultation.
Your skin is cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided. Your provider will use a handheld IPL device to deliver controlled pulses of light to the treatment area.
Treatments typically take about 15–35 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, we’ll review your aftercare instructions, including how to care for your skin and protect it from the sun.
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target unwanted pigmentation and visible redness. It’s often a good option for brown spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone.
Laser resurfacing uses focused laser energy to address concerns such as skin texture, fine lines, and certain types of scarring, depending on the technology used.
