IPL

IPL Photofacial at Radiance MedSpa Wheaton

What Is IPL?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), often called a photofacial, is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light energy to target unwanted pigmentation, redness, and visible signs of sun damage. Unlike traditional lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light—allowing it to address a range of skin concerns in one session.

How It Works

The pulses of light gently penetrate the skin, breaking down pigment and vascular irregularities while stimulating collagen production. Over time, the body naturally eliminates these damaged cells, revealing clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
