What is IPL?

If you struggle with how your skin appears because of sun damage or dark spots, NuVida Aesthetics & Wellness can perform a skin analysis at our American Fork, UT office to determine if you could benefit from IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. An IPL photofacial treatment rejuvenates the skin of adult men and women with facial and neck hyperpigmentation problems. IPL is a highly effective, noninvasive procedure that creates impressive outcomes. Medical director Aaron Paxman uses intense wavelengths of light that warm the skin to ignite the natural regeneration process and boost collagen production. In time, you should see a healthier complexion with an improved tone and decreased spots.

How Does IPL Work?

If no other treatments are performed, an IPL photofacial at our American Fork, UT office can be completed in around 20 – 30 minutes in one of our minor procedure rooms. To start the photofacial, your technician will clean and dry your skin before protecting your eyes with covers. The IPL photofacial is administered using a handheld device that will pass over the skin while emitting pulses of light energy. While some patients may have mild discomfort during the photofacial, it’s usually tolerable for the short treatment length.

    IPL FAQs

    How much does IPL cost?

    Your complexion issues are unique, so your cost for IPL treatments will vary based on your unique concerns. NUVIDA Med Aesthetics And Wellness offers special deals sometimes, and we take most payment methods. During your initial visit, a member of our team can estimate your cost and recommend how many sessions are needed to fit your needs and goals.

    How quick are the results from IPL?

    Improvements can be seen following one IPL treatment, but final results develop a month after a full series of treatments is completed. It’s normal for your skin to see different responses following every session. You should notice gradual improvements in redness, blotchiness, and spots (age, brown, and sun) over time.

    What are the possible side effects of IPL?

    You may have mild side effects like temporary redness, swelling, bruising, blisters, or crusting. These subside 2 – 3 days following your treatment. You will be sun-sensitive, and you should keep in mind that sun exposure can affect your results. You should also wear sunscreen to protect your skin and prevent problems like redness and spots.
