IPL Photofacials in South Jordan, Utah
If you could, would you turn back the clock and undo the years of tanning and sun damage? The Lumenis laser delivers a pulsed light that is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots or hyper-pigmentation. These blemishes will darken a few days following the treatment and then naturally shed from the skin within 7 to 10 days.

What is an IPL Photofacial?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-laser light therapy treatment that reduces:
Age spots
Birthmarks
Varicose veins
Skin discoloration
Fine lines
Scars
Rosacea
It also removes unwanted hair and many other unsightly facial irregularities. IPL targets the skin, which is made of melanin. The energy emitted by the handheld IPL device converts to heat, in the form of wavelengths of light. This powerful method of pinpointing intense pulsed light on unwanted skin flaws results in their diminished appearance.
Does IPL Work?
The methodology behind the genius of the IPL photofacial treatment is that it tricks the skin into thinking it has sustained a wound, which the skin then sets to repair by producing collagen—the skin’s secret to youth. The IPL device penetrates the outer layer of the skin, gently heating the second layer, which is what produces the “wound” response. This stimulates blood flow and helps eradicate unwanted cells, revealing fresh, younger-looking skin. This proven method results in a noticeable decrease in many unappealing skin conditions. Depending on what area is being treated and how severe the blemish is, a few treatments are usually needed to reach your ideal outcome.
Benefits of IPL
Have you ever wished you could get rid of embarrassing acne scars, age spots, uneven skin coloration, or that birthmark that you do not think is “cute” despite what your favorite aunt tells you? Well, you can! These are just some of the benefits of getting a non-invasive IPL photofacial. You’ll wonder why you didn’t get it sooner! And while no one can stop the aging process, if you take great care of your skin, the treatment results can last many years or even be permanent. The best part? The procedure requires little to no downtime.
Risks of IPL Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation
The IPL photofacial is a relatively safe procedure with few risks. Common side effects include redness and swelling, which usually subside within 24 hours. You might also experience light bruising, itching, and mild stinging. If you are on a medication (either topical or oral) that causes photosensitivity, this could be a contraindication for the IPL procedure. In rare instances, IPL photofacial skin rejuvenation can cause blisters, scars, skin discolorations, and burns.

IPL Photofacial FAQ
How much doesn an IPL Photofacial cost?
The cost of your IPL photofacial will depend on the severity of your condition and the number of treatments it will require to achieve your desired result. Your practitioner will discuss this with you beforehand. On average, a single treatment is between $300 and $400. At Modern MedSpa, we charge $300 for one, and $850 for 3.
How many IPL Photofacial treatments will I need?
The number of IPL photofacial procedures you will need will depend on the severity of the skin issue you are targeting. Most people find that 3-5 treatments (given 3-4 weeks apart) deliver ideal results. Your genetics, lifestyle, and depth of your original skin concern will all play a factor in how many treatments you require.
How long does each IPL photofacial take?
An IPL photofacial treatment can take anywhere between 30 and 90 minutes. The size and number of areas you are targeting will affect the length of your treatment.
What skin colors can get an IPL photofacial?
Light and moderate skin tones experience the best outcomes from the IPL photofacial treatment. Darker skin is more prone to hyperpigmentation or burning with this procedure. Laser treatment might be a better option for darker skin because, unlike IPL, the laser emits only a single wavelength of light.
How long does it take to see results from an IPL photofacial
Results can typically be seen in a week to 10 days (sometimes sooner), but improvements will occur over time. The best results can often be noticed in 3 to 6 months. Successive treatments will improve the appearance as well. Each person’s skin is different, so variations will occur. Some people enjoy an IPL photofacial touch-up once a year for maintenance.
