What is Intense Pulsed Light Therapy?
An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is an innovative treatment that harnesses the power of laser technology to target and eliminate unwanted pigmentation from the skin. This procedure exposes the outer layers of the skin to multiple wavelengths of safe light energy, which are then absorbed by irregular pigments lying beneath the surface.
The heat generated by the light destroys these pigmented cells, causing them to rise to the skin’s surface as temporary dark lesions that naturally flake away over time. The result is a smoother, more evenly toned complexion without the need for invasive surgical procedures or lengthy recovery periods. An IPL photofacial also stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and strength while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

What Is It Like To Get An IPL Photofacial?
During your IPL photofacial, you’ll lie back and relax while your provider gently moves a handheld device across the treatment area. Most people describe the sensation as a mild snap—similar to a rubber band against the skin. If needed, a topical anesthetic can be applied to make the experience more comfortable.
The session lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. Afterward, your skin may feel warm or slightly tight, with some temporary redness that typically fades within a few hours.
There’s no downtime required. To care for your skin post-treatment, skip makeup until any redness clears and stick with mild, soothing skincare products.
Jacksonville’s Top Questions About IPL Photofacials
It is essential to avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and six weeks after your IPL Photofacial Rejuvenation procedure to ensure optimal healing and results, and to minimize the risk of complications such as hyperpigmentation.
Results from an IPL photofacial typically start to become noticeable within 7 to 10 days after your first session. Dark spots may temporarily darken before flaking off, and your skin tone will begin to look more even as the treated areas heal.
That said, most people see the best improvement after a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider at Coastal Dermatology & Medspa will help you build a treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
We do not recommend wearing makeup immediately after this procedure since the new skin is extremely susceptible and fresh. Once any redness or swelling has subsided, it is perfectly safe to apply makeup—just make sure that you use a gentle removal process to avoid causing damage to the skin.
We typically recommend that patients have this treatment performed once every four weeks to maintain optimal results year-round. But this can change depending on your body’s reaction to the treatment. Some people may only need to have it performed every six to eight weeks to achieve the same results. Our trained staff will work with you to determine the best regimen for your conditions and goals.
