Achieve clearer, younger-looking skin with IPL Laser at Henderson Medspa—non-invasive treatment for sun damage, redness, age spots, and more.

Do you struggle with uneven skin tone, sun damage, or redness that just won’t go away? You're not alone—and the solution may be simpler than you think. At Henderson Medspa, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Laser treatments, a powerful and non-invasive way to improve skin clarity, tone, and texture with minimal downtime.

Whether you're battling the effects of sun exposure, dealing with rosacea, or looking to reduce signs of aging, IPL can help you achieve smoother, more radiant skin—without surgery or needles.

What Is IPL Laser?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a light-based skin rejuvenation treatment that targets pigment and vascular irregularities in the skin. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat a variety of skin concerns simultaneously.

The IPL device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate deep into the skin to break up unwanted pigment, minimize redness, and stimulate collagen production—all while leaving the surrounding skin untouched.

IPL is often referred to as a photofacial or photo rejuvenation, and it's one of the most effective treatments available for restoring a clear, even complexion.

What Can IPL Treat?

IPL is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of common skin concerns, including:

  • Sun damage and sunspots
  • Freckles and hyperpigmentation
  • Age spots and liver spots
  • Broken capillaries and facial veins
  • Rosacea and redness
  • Melasma (in some cases)
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Large pores
  • Fine lines and mild wrinkles

IPL is safe for use on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and hands—anywhere that sun damage or visible discoloration has taken its toll.

How Does IPL Work?

IPL works by sending controlled pulses of light into the deeper layers of your skin. The light energy is absorbed by pigment cells (melanin) or blood vessels, which are then broken down and gradually cleared away by the body’s natural healing process.

At the same time, IPL stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.

Each treatment session typically lasts 20–30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. There is minimal discomfort—most patients describe the sensation as a light snap or flick against the skin, similar to a rubber band.

What to Expect After Treatment

After an IPL session, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, or a sensation similar to a sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Pigmented spots may darken initially before flaking off naturally, revealing clearer skin underneath.

There is little to no downtime, making IPL a convenient option for people with busy schedules.

For optimal results, most patients undergo a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced about 3–4 weeks apart. Results improve progressively, with many patients noticing a brighter, more even complexion after just one session.

Is IPL Right for You?

IPL is ideal for individuals with light to medium skin tones who are dealing with pigment-related issues, sun damage, or visible blood vessels. However, it may not be suitable for:

  • Very dark skin tones (due to risk of pigmentation changes)
  • Individuals who are tan or recently sunburned
  • Those with certain medical or skin conditions
