The Glow You’ve Been Waiting For: Why We Love IPL Laser Treatments at Core Aesthetic
If you’ve been searching for a way to restore your glow and even out your complexion, IPL laser treatments might be your new favorite skin secret. At Core Aesthetic in Alexandria, VA, we use Lumecca IPL — one of the most advanced Intense Pulsed Light technologies available — to safely and effectively treat sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and dullness for a radiant, youthful finish.
What Is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive treatment that uses precise wavelengths of light to target discoloration and visible signs of aging. Unlike a traditional laser that emits a single wavelength, IPL delivers broad-spectrum light that penetrates multiple layers of the skin.
This light energy is absorbed by pigment (brown spots) and hemoglobin (redness or broken capillaries), breaking them down naturally over time. The result? Brighter, clearer, and more even skin tone — without harsh downtime.
Think of it as hitting “refresh” on your skin — fading years of sun exposure while improving overall radiance.
What Does IPL Treat?
Our Lumecca IPL technology can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
Sun damage and brown spots
Freckles and age spots
Redness and rosacea
Uneven skin tone and texture
Enlarged pores
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Lumecca’s high efficiency means fewer treatments and faster visible results, making it one of our clients’ favorite options for total skin rejuvenation.
Customizable to Your Skin’s Needs
Every complexion is unique — that’s why IPL at Core Aesthetic is fully customizable. Our providers adjust light intensity and wavelength based on your skin tone, texture, and specific goals. Whether your focus is pigment correction, redness reduction, or overall glow, each session is tailored to your needs for optimal safety and results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for IPL?
IPL is best suited for light to medium skin tones and is ideal for anyone experiencing:
Sun damage or uneven pigmentation
Redness, rosacea, or broken capillaries
Dullness or early signs of aging
Texture irregularities
IPL can be used on multiple areas including the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands — making it one of the most versatile treatments we offer.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Treatment
Before:
Avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, and exfoliating actives (like retinol or glycolic acid) for 5–7 days.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
A topical numbing cream can be applied for comfort, though most patients find IPL to be very tolerable.
During:
You’ll wear protective goggles while your provider glides the Lumecca handpiece across your skin. Each pulse feels like a quick, warm snap — and the treatment usually takes 20–30 minutes.
After:
Mild redness or warmth may occur for a few hours (similar to a light sunburn).
Pigmented spots will temporarily darken, then flake off or fade within a week.
Keep your skin hydrated and protected with broad-spectrum SPF daily.
You’ll likely see visible improvement after one session, but three to five treatments spaced a 4-6 weeks apart yield the best long-term results.
