Uneven tone, sunspots, or stubborn redness can make your skin feel less than its best. If you’ve tried creams or scrubs with no luck, IPL may be the refresh your skin needs. More than a cosmetic perk, this treatment goes deeper, addressing concerns you might not even realize it’s suited for.

A board-certified physician and graduate of the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine, Dr. Sohayda specializes in facial rejuvenation using laser technology and intense pulsed light.
What Does an IPL Photofacial Do?
An IPL Photofacial uses intense pulsed light to treat visible signs of sun damage, redness, and texture irregularities. It penetrates the skin to reduce pigmentation and stimulate collagen, without damaging surrounding tissue. This noninvasive approach appeals to those seeking real results with minimal disruption to daily life.
Hidden Benefits of IPL Treatment
While you might know IPL helps fade dark spots, its lesser-known benefits are just as compelling. Here’s what else it can do:
- Improves minor acne scarring: IPL helps fade shallow scars left behind by breakouts by boosting collagen.
- Reduces pore size: Light energy tightens the skin, which can result in smaller-looking pores over time.
- Balances skin tone: IPL helps even out blotchy or patchy complexions that aren’t just about pigment.
- Stimulates natural repair: IPL supports long-term skin health and resilience by encouraging collagen growth.
- Gentle on surrounding skin: IPL targets problem areas without affecting untreated skin, making it suitable for various skin types.
These lesser-known benefits make IPL a versatile option for anyone wanting smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Does IPL Help with Skin Texture?
Yes — many clients report that their skin feels softer and looks refined after treatment. IPL triggers natural collagen production, gradually improving skin texture and tone. Even subtle changes like rough patches or dry spots can look better within weeks of treatment.
Best Treatment for Sunspots and Redness
IPL is especially effective for visible damage caused by UV exposure or inflammation. Here’s why it stands out:
- Fades sunspots: IPL breaks up pigment in the deeper layers of the skin, helping sunspots lighten with time.
- Diminishes redness: Light targets dilated vessels, reducing redness from rosacea or general irritation.
- Noninvasive comfort: Unlike more aggressive laser treatments, IPL has litminimalwntime and minimal discomfort.
Depending on skin type and concern, most patients see visible improvements after three to five sessions.
