IPL - Skin Rejuvenation

At Peninsula Skin Co., we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments to help you achieve a clearer, more even complexion with minimal downtime. IPL is a versatile, non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to target various skin concerns such as pigmentation, sun damage, rosacea, and acne, leaving you with radiant, youthful skin.

​

How IPL Works

IPL uses broad-spectrum light pulses to penetrate the skin at different depths, targeting the pigments in your skin (such as melanin in sunspots and redness) or the blood vessels associated with skin conditions like rosacea. The light energy is absorbed by the skin and converted into heat, which helps to break down the targeted pigmentation or blood vessels, promoting smoother, clearer skin.

✔ Improves skin tone and texture
✔ Reduces pigmentation and sun spots
✔ Minimizes redness and rosacea
✔ Treats acne and acne scars
✔ Stimulates collagen production for a youthful glow

​

What to Expect

Before your IPL treatment, we always conduct a consultation to assess your skin’s needs and discuss the best treatment plan for you. We also perform a test patch 48 hours prior to your treatment to ensure that we provide a safe and effective treatment tailored to your skin type.

During the session, a cooling gel will be applied to your skin for comfort, and you’ll wear protective glasses to shield your eyes from the light. The IPL handpiece will then be moved over your skin, delivering pulses of light to treat your skin concerns.

​

Most IPL treatments take around 30-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. After your session, you may experience mild redness or a warm sensation, similar to a sunburn, but this typically fades within a few hours. The full benefits of IPL will gradually reveal themselves over the course of a few weeks as your skin begins to heal and regenerate.

​

Who Is IPL For?

IPL is suitable for most skin types and can treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
✔ Sun damage and pigmentation (age spots, freckles)
✔ Redness and rosacea
✔ Acne and acne scars
✔ Uneven skin tone and texture
✔ Fine lines and wrinkles

​

While IPL is generally safe for all skin types, your practitioner will ensure that the treatment is tailored to your specific skin type for optimal results.

Post-Treatment Care
