A targeted light-based treatment that fades pigmentation, evens skin tone, and restores a clearer, more radiant complexion with little to no downtime.

Description

Reveal brighter, clearer skin with IPL in San Antonio at DaVída Medical & Aesthetics in San Antonio. IPL is a non-invasive light-based treatment designed to reduce sun damage, age spots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation—while improving overall skin tone and clarity.

IPL works by delivering precise pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin, targeting excess melanin and pigment beneath the surface. These pigmented cells absorb the light energy and gradually break down, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them. Over the following weeks, dark spots fade, redness diminishes, and the skin appears more even, luminous, and refreshed.

In addition to pigment correction, IPL also stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and overall radiance. This makes IPL an excellent option for patients seeking visible results without the downtime of more aggressive laser treatments.

Each treatment is fully customized based on your skin type, concerns, and goals to ensure safe, effective results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does IPL remove brown spots?

IPL targets excess pigment with light energy, breaking it down so the body can naturally clear it over time. Dark spots gradually fade as the skin renews.

Is IPL the same as a laser?

No. IPL uses broad-spectrum light rather than a single laser wavelength, allowing it to treat multiple skin concerns in one session.

Is IPL safe?

Yes, when performed by trained medical professionals. A consultation is required to determine if IPL is appropriate for your skin tone and concerns.

Does IPL hurt?

Most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap or warm pulse. Discomfort is minimal and well tolerated.

How long do results last?

With proper sun protection and skincare, results can last long-term. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to prevent new pigmentation.
