IPL Treatment: Advanced Light Therapy for Radiant, Even Skin

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective skin treatment designed to address a wide range of concerns, from sun damage and discoloration to fine lines and acne scars. Under the care of Dr. Gregory LaTrenta, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, IPL treatments are performed with meticulous precision to ensure remarkable, natural-looking results while maintaining skin integrity and youthful glow.

Advanced Light Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation

What Are IPL?

IPL therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses broad-spectrum light pulses to target pigment irregularities, broken capillaries, and textural concerns. Unlike lasers that focus on a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin quality.

This treatment is ideal for addressing:

  • Sun damage & hyperpigmentation (brown spots, age spots, freckles)
  • Rosacea & facial redness (broken capillaries, dilated blood vessels)
  • Fine lines & textural irregularities
  • Acne scars & active breakouts
  • Uneven skin tone & dull complexion

IPL therapy is safe for both men and women and is customized to each patient’s skin type and concerns.

The Procedure: Precise Light-Based Skin Rejuvenation

Injectable treatments are quick and virtually painless, making them an ideal option for those with busy schedules who want immediate results.

Step-by-Step Treatment Process

  • Personalized Skin Assessment – Every patient receives a customized evaluation to determine the best IPL settings for their skin concerns.
  • Pre-Treatment Preparation – A cooling gel is applied to protect the skin and enhance light penetration.
  • Light Energy Pulses Delivered – The IPL device emits targeted light pulses to treat pigmentation, redness, and textural issues.
  • Quick & Painless – The treatment takes 20-30 minutes, with mild warmth or tingling but no significant discomfort.

Who is the Best Candidate for IPL?

IPL therapy is perfect for individuals who:

Want to reduce signs of sun damage and pigmentation

Struggle with rosacea, broken capillaries, or facial redness

Desire a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment with little downtime

Are looking for a solution to acne scars or active breakouts

Want to enhance skin tone, texture, and overall radiance

Non-smoker status is recommended for optimal healing

Best suited for patients with lighter to medium skin tones.

Recovery & Aftercare: A Gentle Yet Effective Process

One of the greatest advantages of IPL therapy is its quick recovery time, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately.

  • Mild Sunburn Sensation (1-2 Days) – Skin may feel slightly warm, tight, or pink, similar to a mild sunburn.
  • Possible Darkening of Pigmented Spots – Treated spots may temporarily darken before flaking off within 5-7 days.
  • Sun Protection is Crucial – Patients must wear sunscreen daily to protect new skin and prevent pigmentation recurrence.
  • Long-Term Results Develop Over Weeks – While immediate improvements are visible, full results appear within 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases.
