Are sun damage, redness, age spots, acne, and fine lines making your skin look older than you feel? At Access MedSpa Rejuvenate, our cutting-edge IPL photofacials can help reverse these signs of aging and skin damage to restore a radiant, youthful complexion.
Overview of IPL Photofacial
Intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial treatment is a popular non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure offered by Access MedSpa Rejuvenate in Lanham, MD. This advanced light therapy can improve a wide variety of skin concerns through customized treatments tailored to your unique needs.
How Does IPL Photofacial Work?
An IPL photofacial sends bright pulses of light into the skin, targeting pigmented lesions and broken blood vessels. The light energy converts to heat, which destroys the targeted structures and allows the skin to naturally clear away the damaged cells. The treatment also stimulates collagen production for tighter, firmer skin.
IPL photofacials use filters to deliver different wavelengths that specifically target:
- Brown and red pigmentation from sun damage/age spots
- Rosacea and facial vein redness
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and rough skin texture
- Acne and acne scarring
- Unwanted hair growth
This broad spectrum capacity makes IPL an incredibly versatile treatment. The technology can be adjusted to customize the right combination of wavelengths, pulse duration, and energy level for each patient’s skin.
Who is a Good Candidate for IPL?
The best candidates for IPL photofacial have light to medium skin tones. Patients with the following skin types can achieve great results:
- Fitzpatrick skin types I-III (fair to light brown skin)
- Some patients with Fitzpatrick type IV (moderate brown) may be candidates
IPL works by targeting pigment in the skin, so it is not generally recommended for those with dark complexions. The treatment is also not suitable for tanned skin, so avoiding sun exposure prior to appointments is advised.
People seeking improvement in overall skin tone, texture, sun damage, age spots, acne, rosacea, and fine lines are likely to benefit from IPL. It can produce meaningful rejuvenation for both women and men.

What Are the Benefits of IPL Photofacial?
IPL photofacial offers a wide range of skin enhancements with little-to-no downtime. Benefits include:
Fading Brown Spots, Sun Damage, and Redness
IPL eliminates overactive melanin that causes brown spots and sun damage. It also reduces excess hemoglobin causing facial redness or rosacea. This reveals a more even, radiant skin tone.
Smoothing Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and Texture
IPL boosts collagen production to smooth out wrinkles and crepey skin texture. It also tightens pores for a youthful appearance.
Reduction of Rosacea Flushing and Broken Capillaries
IPL constricts enlarged blood vessels that cause visible redness and spider veins on the face. This minimizes facial flushing.
Refining Enlarged Pores and Clearing Acne
IPL reduces oil gland activity and inflammation that lead to clogged pores, blackheads and acne breakouts. Pores appear tighter.
Softening Stretch Marks and Surgical Scars
IPL remodels scar tissue and evens out skin texture to minimize the appearance of stretch marks, acne scars and post-surgical scars.
Permanent Hair Reduction
IPL damages hair follicles to achieve gradual permanent hair reduction on the upper lip, chin and other areas over 3-5 treatments.
These improvements in skin clarity, tone, and texture reveal a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion. IPL can address multiple signs of aging at once, often outperforming topical skincare. The benefits continue to improve over 3-5 sessions.
IPL Photofacial Treatments Offered at Access MedSpa Rejuvenate
At Access MedSpa Rejuvenate, we use advanced IPL technology combined with our aesthetic expertise to develop customized photofacial treatments based on each patient’s unique needs and skin type.
| Treatment | Description |
| Core IPL Photofacial | Our Core IPL Photofacial is designed to address general skin rejuvenation concerns for light to medium skin tones. It helps improve overall texture, tone, and clarity while reducing key signs of aging like sun spots and fine lines. This 30-minute treatment makes an excellent introduction to the benefits of IPL skin rejuvenation. It can be tailored with add-on enhancements to target specific areas of concern. |
| IPL Photofacial for Acne | For chronic breakouts, IPL offers a safe, effective acne-clearing treatment that works at the source. By targeting acne-causing bacteria deep within the skin, IPL photofacial helps clear current breakouts while preventing new ones from forming. This acne-focused IPL protocol reduces inflammation and pore congestion. It also refines the skin texture and helps fade post-acne marks like red and brown scarring. |
| IPL Photofacial for Rosacea | Rosacea causes chronic facial redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels that many find embarrassing. Our specialized IPL photofacial for rosacea can significantly reduce diffuse redness while diminishing the appearance of broken capillaries. By calming inflammation and stimulating collagen, this treatment helps rebuild the skin’s protective barrier against flare-ups. Patients experience a reduction in their rosacea symptoms and see a smoother, brighter complexion. |
| IPL Spot Treatment for Sun Spots | For targeting stubborn sun and age spots, our Precision IPL spot treatment delivers focused pulses of light energy directly to hyperpigmented areas. This effectively fades and removes dark skin discolorations that topical creams fail to budge. Spot treatment can be added onto full-face IPL sessions or done as a stand-alone 15-minute session. After just 1-2 focused spot treatments, patients see a big improvement in isolated areas of pigmentation. |
| IPL Photofacial for Scars | Our IPL scar treatment helps reduce the appearance of old acne scars as well as surgical, trauma, and stretch marks. By reorganizing collagen fibers within scar tissue and evening out skin texture, IPL can make scars look smoother and less noticeable. This is an excellent option for pitted acne scars, post-surgical incision scars, and uneven skin texture from past injuries. IPL works to minimize scar depressions so they blend in better with surrounding skin. |
