Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments
Target redness, pigmentation, and sun damage—for a clearer, brighter complexion. Available at our Mississauga Cosmetic and Wellness Clinic.
What Are IPL Treatments?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target discoloration, visible veins, sun damage, and signs of aging. At Skin Beauty Enhanced, we offer IPL photorejuvenation as a safe and effective way to even out skin tone, minimize imperfections, and restore your natural radiance.
This light-based treatment works beneath the skin’s surface to correct pigmentation and vascular concerns without damaging surrounding tissue—making it ideal for those looking to improve their skin’s clarity and brightness without downtime.
As a physician-led Mississauga Cosmetic and Wellness Clinic, we use professional-grade IPL devices under expert supervision to ensure precise, customized results.
How Does IPL Work?
IPL delivers controlled bursts of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin without harming its surface. The light energy is absorbed by melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (in blood vessels), where it converts into heat—causing unwanted pigmentation or broken capillaries to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body.
Over time, this process reveals a smoother, more even skin tone with improved clarity and reduced discoloration.
At Skin Beauty Enhanced, every IPL session is tailored to your skin type and concerns. Treatments are performed under the direction of Dr. Andrea Garcia, ensuring your safety and satisfaction.
What Skin Concerns Can IPL Treat?
IPL is an excellent solution for:
- Sun damage and brown spots (age spots, liver spots)
- Rosacea and facial redness
- Broken capillaries and spider veins
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma (in select cases)
- Dull, lackluster skin
It’s most commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Does it Hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a light snap or flick—similar to a rubber band on the skin. The treatment is quick, and discomfort is minimal. A cooling gel or built-in cooling technology helps soothe the skin during and after treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Visible improvements are often seen after just 1 to 2 sessions, but a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, is usually recommended for optimal results.
Your personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation to align with your skin tone, goals, and concerns.
What’s the Downtime?
IPL is a low-downtime procedure. You may experience:
- Mild redness or warmth, similar to a light sunburn (1–2 days)
- Temporary darkening of sun spots or freckles (which flake off naturally)
- Mild swelling in treated areas
You can return to most daily activities right away.
Sunscreen and gentle skincare are crucial post-treatment, and we’ll guide you through a proper aftercare routine.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
IPL is best suited for individuals who:
- Have fair to medium skin tones
- Want to reduce sun damage or redness
- Are looking for a non-invasive solution to pigmentation or vascular issues
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements
We’ll assess your skin tone, concerns, and goals during a full consultation at our Mississauga Cosmetic and Wellness Clinic to confirm if IPL is right for you.
