What Is an IPL Photofacial?
IPL photofacial, also called an IPL facial or IPL photorejuvenation, is a light treatment for sun damage and facial redness.
The device sends short pulses of broad-spectrum light through a filter. Brown pigment and the blood in small vessels absorb that light, heat up and break down, so one treatment can reach both brown spots and redness. The National Library of Medicine has a clinical overview of IPL for more detail.
IPL for Sun Damage, Redness and Uneven Tone
- Sun spots and age spots
- Freckles
- Facial redness
- Small visible blood vessels
- Rosacea flushing
- Uneven skin tone
Is IPL Right for Your Skin?
IPL works best on lighter to medium skin. Darker skin is more prone to burns and dark marks after light treatments, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, so some darker skin tones can be treated with careful settings and others do better with a different treatment.
Wait if you have a tan or recent sun exposure, and tell us about any medicines you take, since some make skin more sensitive to light.
A mole that is changing is never treated with light, and melasma is assessed on its own because IPL is not a first treatment for it.

IPL Photofacial FAQs
Does IPL hurt?
Most people feel each pulse as a short sting or a quick burst of heat. Some redness and tenderness afterward is common.
How much is an IPL photofacial in Sugar Hill?
Every session is the same price, and a course of 3 is simply three times the single price. See the cost section for current prices.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Most people need a series of treatments. Your consultation gives you a recommended number based on what you want treated.
Is IPL safe for darker skin?
Some darker skin tones can be treated with IPL, and others do better with a different treatment. We assess this before any treatment.
Can IPL treat melasma?
IPL is not a first treatment for melasma. Light treatments can help some people who already use a prescribed skin medicine and protect their skin from the sun, so melasma is assessed on its own.
