Unveil Brighter, Younger-Looking Skin
What is IPL?
At our office in Lakewood Ranch IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses precise light energy to target and eliminate pigment irregularities and redness. IPL light penetrates down to the second layer (dermis) of skin without harming the top layer (epidermis). This stimulates collagen and elastin fibers, which results in a visible improvement of your skin’s tone and overall appearance. Our experts have a combined 15 years of experience with this IPL platform, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience every time.
Turn Back the Clock on Skin Damage
What is the IPL procedure like?
Your Sarasota IPL session will begin with cleansing and preparing the skin. Your provider will then apply a cooling gel.
As the IPL handpiece is guided over the treatment area, you may feel a warm sensation or pinprick feeling as the light energy is delivered. The process is relatively quick, usually taking 30 minutes or less, depending on the area treated. No anesthesia is required.

Minimal Downtime and Aftercare
IPL Recovery
One of the major benefits of IPL is that there is no required downtime after treatment sessions. You can immediately resume normal activities. Your skin may appear slightly flushed or red for a few hours, feeling similar to a sunburn, which will resolve quickly. Following aftercare instructions, like avoiding direct sun exposure, will ensure optimal healing.
