IPL Photofacial in Henderson
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike a laser, which uses one wavelength, IPL delivers many wavelengths at once, so it can address brown spots and redness in the same session.
The light is absorbed by the pigments behind your concern. Melanin in sun and age spots breaks up and flakes away, while hemoglobin in small visible vessels absorbs light that reduces redness.
Henderson's sun is hard on skin, and IPL is one of the most effective ways to undo visible sun damage on the face, neck, chest, hands and arms.
How it works

A handpiece delivers gentle pulses of light across the skin.
Excess melanin and small blood vessels absorb the energy and break down.
Brown spots darken, then flake away over several days, leaving a more even tone.
Concerns & areas






Compare
Both can brighten sun-damaged skin. IPL uses light to target brown spots and redness, while a VI Peel resurfaces the skin chemically.

|---|---|---|
| Targets | Brown spots and visible redness | Pigment, texture, acne and fine lines |
| Downtime | Minimal; spots darken and flake | About 3 to 5 days of light peeling |
| Skin tones | Best on lighter skin tones | Safe for all skin types and tones |
| Tan | Skin must not be recently tanned | Ask your provider |
| Plan | A short series a few weeks apart | One peel or a series |

Most clients see their best results after a short series spaced a few weeks apart, with occasional maintenance.
Treated pigment often darkens before it flakes away over several days. It is a normal sign the light has worked.
Most people describe a quick, warm snap similar to a rubber band flick. A cooling gel keeps you comfortable.
Yes. IPL is used on the neck, chest, hands and arms as well as the face.
IPL works best on lighter skin tones. For deeper skin tones, your provider may recommend a VI Peel or another option that treats pigment more safely.
IPL can reduce visible redness and small broken vessels that often come with rosacea. It doesn't cure rosacea, and a series usually works best.
Heat and light can make melasma worse, so IPL is often not the first choice. Your provider may suggest a VI Peel or a skincare plan instead.
