What is IPL Laser Treatment?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) laser treatment, also known as photofacial treatment, uses broad-spectrum light to target specific skin concerns without damaging surrounding tissue. This advanced non-invasive treatment delivers controlled light energy that breaks down unwanted pigmentation and reduces facial redness for clearer, more radiant skin.

Our professional IPL treatments in Encinitas use the Lumenis M22 platform for superior precision and safety. Dr. Krishna customizes each session to your specific skin type and concerns.

IPL Treatment Process

Consultation

Dr. Krishna evaluates your skin and creates a customized treatment plan using the Lumenis M22 system.

Treatment

The session takes about 20 minutes. You'll feel gentle pulses of light with minimal discomfort as the cooling system maintains comfort.

Recovery

Return to normal activities immediately. Treated spots may darken before naturally flaking off within 7-14 days.

Advanced PhotoFacial Treatment

Experience our comprehensive PhotoFacial treatment that combines Resurfx laser resurfacing with IPL technology in one powerful session. This dual-laser approach provides light resurfacing to improve skin texture while simultaneously targeting dark spots and red spots for complete skin rejuvenation.

The PhotoFacial treatment maximizes your results by addressing both surface texture issues and deeper pigmentation concerns. By combining both laser technologies, we can freshen and transform your skin more effectively than single treatments alone, giving you the comprehensive skin renewal you're looking for.

IPL Results and Timeline

IPL photofacial results develop progressively as your skin naturally processes the treated pigmentation. You'll notice initial improvements within 1-2 weeks as sun spots begin to fade and overall skin clarity improves. The most dramatic results typically appear after completing a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

Many patients achieve significant reduction in sun damage, age spots, and facial redness after their treatment series. Maintenance IPL sessions every 6-12 months help preserve your enhanced skin tone and prevent new pigmentation from forming.
