Hello
IPL Treatments at Derma Defined
Advanced light-based solutions for clearer, smoother, more even skin.
Custom light treatments designed for your skin's unique needs.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments use targeted light energy to treat a wide range of skin concerns — from unwanted hair to acne, redness, and pigmentation. At Derma Defined, IPL is a versatile, results-driven treatment customized to your skin and goals.
IPL is a multitasker in the best possible way. Using advanced light technology, it treats multiple concerns at once — without needles, incisions, or major downtime — working beneath the surface to improve tone, clarity, and texture. Results build gradually and naturally, so your skin looks better… not “done.”
IPL is ideal for clients looking to address unwanted hair, acne or post-acne redness, sun damage and pigmentation, or visible redness and blood vessels. Because IPL is powerful, a consultation is required to ensure it’s safe, appropriate, and perfectly matched to your skin.
What It Is
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a technology that delivers controlled pulses of light into the skin. That light is absorbed by specific targets — such as pigment, blood vessels, bacteria, or hair follicles — allowing us to treat multiple concerns safely and effectively without damaging the surrounding skin.
How IPL Works for Different Concerns
Acne
IPL targets the bacteria that contribute to acne while also reducing inflammation and redness. It helps calm active breakouts, support healing, and improve overall skin clarity.
Best for:
- Inflammatory acne
- Redness associated with breakouts
- Clients looking for non-medicated acne support
Permanent Hair Removal
IPL delivers light energy into the hair follicle, where it is absorbed by the pigment in the hair. This damages the follicle and significantly reduces future hair growth over a series of treatments.
Best for:
- Dark hair on light to medium skin tones
- Face and body hair reduction
- Long-term hair management
Note: Results are progressive and require multiple sessions.
Photo Rejuvenation
Photo rejuvenation uses IPL to improve overall skin tone and texture by targeting sun damage, redness, and uneven pigmentation. It stimulates collagen production, helping skin appear brighter and more youthful over time.
Best for:
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Sun damage
- Early signs of aging
Pigmented Lesions
IPL targets excess melanin in the skin, breaking down dark spots so they can naturally lift and fade. Over time, this results in a more even complexion.
Treats:
- Sun spots
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Hyperpigmentation
Vascular Lesions
IPL light is absorbed by hemoglobin in blood vessels, causing them to gently collapse and fade. This reduces visible redness and broken capillaries.
Treats:
- Broken capillaries
- Facial redness
- Rosacea-related flushing (when appropriate)
