IPL for Red Acne Scars and Post-Inflammatory Redness
When acne clears, the marks it leaves behind can be just as frustrating as the breakouts themselves. Many people notice lingering pink or red spots long after active acne has calmed — and these can take months or years to fade on their own. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a highly effective treatment to help reduce this redness and restore a smoother, more even skin tone.
Why IPL Is Not the Same Everywhere — Machine Power and Medical Oversight Matter
If you have ever noticed different prices for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, you may wonder why. The reason is simple: not all IPL devices operate at the same level, and not all providers use medical-grade settings or training. IPL can deliver dramatic clarity and pigment correction — but only when the right machine and clinical expertise are behind it.
The Best Time of Year to Get IPL — Timing Matters
Thinking about starting IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for clearer, brighter skin? Timing truly matters. While it may seem convenient to book right before summer or an event, the fall and winter months are the ideal season to begin your IPL journey. These cooler months give your skin a safe, low-UV environment to repair and rebuild — setting you up for your best skin by spring.
How Many IPL Sessions Do You Really Need?
One of the most common questions we hear about IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is, “Will one session be enough?” The short answer: no. Just like sun damage and redness do not appear overnight, they do not disappear in one treatment. IPL works gradually and strategically, clearing pigment and redness layer by layer for a natural, even result.
Can IPL Be Done on the Neck, Chest, and Hands? Not Just the Face
Many people think of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) as a face-only treatment — a way to brighten complexion, fade sun spots, and reduce redness. But sun exposure does not stop at the jawline, and neither should skin rejuvenation. The neck, chest, and hands often show signs of aging even earlier than the face, making them key areas to treat if you want a truly youthful, even appearance.
What Happens During an IPL Treatment? A Step-by-Step Breakdown
If you are new to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, it is normal to feel curious — and even a little unsure — about what to expect. The good news is IPL is one of the most comfortable and efficient skin treatments available, and the experience is designed to feel smooth, controlled, and reassuring from start to finish.
IPL vs. Chemical Peels — Which Is Better for Discoloration?
When it comes to treating discoloration, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, two of the most popular options are chemical peels and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. Both aim to brighten and even out your complexion — but they work in very different ways.
Is IPL Safe for Melasma — or Can It Make It Worse?
If you have melasma and have been researching treatments, you’ve probably seen mixed opinions about IPL. Some people say it helped lighten their pigmentation, and others say it made it darker. The truth is not that IPL is “bad” for melasma — it is that melasma requires careful medical judgment, and the wrong approach can trigger a flare.
IPL for Rosacea and Redness — Why Prescription Creams Aren’t Enough
Persistent facial redness, easy flushing, and visible tiny blood vessels can feel frustrating and difficult to control. Many people try soothing creams, prescription gels, or drugstore anti-redness products, yet still feel like the redness always comes back. That is because rosacea is not only a surface-level condition. It has a vascular component — and topical products alone cannot treat the blood vessels causing the redness.
Can IPL Fix Sun Damage Permanently? The Honest Answer
If you are noticing new freckles, brown spots, or redness after years in the sun, you are not alone. Sun damage is one of the most common concerns we treat at Core Aesthetic, and IPL is one of the most effective ways to reverse it. But is it permanent? Let’s break it down clearly and realistically.
