Some skin issues just don’t respond to products alone. Redness that won’t settle. Sun spots that seem darker each year. Lingering discoloration from breakouts or hormonal shifts. You’ve tried brightening creams, SPF (you’re doing great), and maybe even a few facials — but those uneven tones keep showing up.
At Skin Damsel, we offer IPL Photofacials to help you move past the frustration. This light-based treatment targets brown spots, redness, and dullness at the surface, revealing skin that looks clearer, calmer, and more even, without overdoing it.
We approach every treatment with a careful eye and a steady hand. You’ll never be rushed or over-treated. We just offer honest skin support, tailored to where you are and what you need.
IPL photofacials draw on the power of intense pulsed light or IPL to reverse the visible signs of aging or sun damage. Pulses of light reach the deeper layers of the skin, triggering natural collagen and elastin production and rejuvenating the skin from the inside out. IPL photofacials repair existing skin damage and slow down skin aging and sun damage, maintaining your skin’s youthful radiance.
IPL is not a laser, and it doesn’t remove any layers of skin. Instead, it works more gently, helping the body clear away discoloration naturally while also boosting collagen production for added glow.
Our IPL handpiece transmits a broad spectrum of light into your skin to gently target and resolve a variety of skin concerns. IPL treatments are virtually painless, with some people describing a sensation similar to a rubber band gently snapping against their skin. IPL therapy is also non-invasive, so you can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
After treatment, your skin may feel sunburned for a few hours, and you may have mild bruising or redness for a day or two. Brown spots will darken for 5-7 days before flaking, and blood vessels may be more pronounced before fading away.
Most people report an improvement in their skin’s appearance after just one treatment. However, for optimal results, you may require up to six treatments scheduled 3-4 weeks apart and 1-3 yearly maintenance treatments.
IPL photofacials can treat any area of the face or body. The most common treatment areas are the face, neck, chest, and hands. This safe and highly effective skin rejuvenation solution addresses a range of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, enlarged pores, sun damage, facial redness, and so much more.
IPL therapy is highly effective at treating acne and acne scarring. Broad-spectrum, intense pulsed light targets the skin’s deeper layers beneath your acne or acne scars, destroying acne-causing bacteria at the source. New collagen and elastin production softens acne scars, revealing a smoother, more even complexion.
IPL photofacials also offer a highly effective solution for treating vascular lesions like spider veins, broken capillaries, rosacea, and facial redness. Intense pulsed light targets the hemoglobin in unwanted blood vessels, heating them and causing them to collapse. The body naturally absorbs these blood vessels, restoring your skin’s clarity.
Clients love IPL because the results show up in all the right ways. Skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned without looking like anything’s been “done.” IPL helps fade brown spots, calm redness, and bring out your natural glow, especially in skin that’s lost some of its clarity over time.
It’s also one of the best treatments for maintaining skin quality between more advanced procedures or as part of a long-term skin health plan.
IPL works best on light to medium skin tones with visible concerns like sun damage, redness, or uneven pigmentation. If your skin is deeper or more melanin-rich, we’ll discuss safer and more effective alternatives because your safety and results matter more than fitting into a certain treatment.
We’ll also review your medical history, current skincare routine, and recent sun exposure to ensure the timing is right for your session.
There’s no downtime with IPL, but your skin may feel a little warm or flushed after your treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Any dark spots may temporarily darken and then flake off over the next week or so. Makeup and skincare can usually be resumed the next day.
You’ll need to avoid sun exposure and use SPF religiously during your treatment series and beyond. We’ll give you easy, no-stress aftercare guidance so your skin heals beautifully.
Most clients start seeing improvement in 7–10 days after their first treatment, with continued brightening and tone improvement after each session. We typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for best results, followed by occasional maintenance to keep your skin looking clear and radiant.
It’s a slow, steady shift toward the skin you’ve been trying to get back to and a visible reward for taking care of yourself.
