Advanced IPL Technology: The Aura Experience
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses broad-spectrum light to target pigments like melanin (brown spots) and hemoglobin (red spots) in the skin. Our Lumenis Stellar M22 device, an FDA-cleared system, delivers controlled light pulses to break down these pigments, revealing clearer, more even skin.

Frequently Asked Questions About IPL
Get quick answers to the most common questions our clients ask us about IPL.
Is IPL treatment uncomfortable?
Most clients describe only a mild snapping sensation during treatment. Our Lumenis Stellar M22's advanced cooling technology and Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) ensure maximum comfort throughout the procedure. The integrated SapphireCool™ Lightguides provide additional cooling for a comfortable experience, making IPL much more tolerable than many clients expect.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Typically, 3-5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. The exact number depends on your specific skin concerns, the severity of pigmentation, and your individual response to treatment. During your personalized consultation, we'll assess your skin and create a customized treatment plan tailored to achieve your desired outcomes.
What is the downtime after IPL?
IPL offers minimal downtime, making it perfect for busy lifestyles. Expect temporary redness, slight swelling, and darkening of treated spots immediately following treatment. The redness typically resolves within hours, while darkened spots naturally flake off within days to weeks. Most clients can return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment.
Who is an ideal candidate for IPL?
IPL is ideal for clients with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation including sun spots, age spots, rosacea, and broken capillaries who are seeking a clearer, more even skin tone. The treatment works best on lighter skin tones and is perfect for those wanting significant improvement without invasive procedures or extended downtime.
What skin concerns can IPL address?
IPL effectively treats a wide range of pigmentation and vascular concerns including sun spots and age spots, rosacea and facial redness, broken capillaries and spider veins, uneven skin tone and texture, freckles and birthmarks, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The broad-spectrum light can target both melanin and hemoglobin for comprehensive skin improvement.
How does IPL work?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target specific pigments in the skin. The light energy is absorbed by melanin (causing brown spots) and hemoglobin (causing red spots), heating and breaking down these pigments without damaging surrounding tissue. Our FDA-cleared Lumenis Stellar M22 device delivers controlled light pulses with precise energy levels, strictly following manufacturer protocols for your safety and optimal results.
When will I see results from IPL?
You'll notice initial improvements within the first week as treated spots begin to darken and flake off. Continued improvement develops over the following 4-6 weeks as your skin naturally eliminates the fragmented pigments. Full results from a complete treatment series become apparent over 3-4 months, revealing significantly clearer, more radiant skin with improved tone and texture.
Can IPL be combined with other treatments?
Yes, IPL can be safely combined with other treatments as part of a comprehensive skincare plan. It works well alongside chemical peels, microneedling, and professional skincare treatments to address multiple skin concerns. During your consultation, we'll discuss how IPL can be integrated with other services to maximize your results and achieve your overall skin goals.
