What Is IPL Skin Rejuvenation?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment and vascular irregularities below the skin’s surface. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light, making it possible to treat multiple concerns in one session.
At our El Segundo office, we use the InMode OptimasMAX platform. This advanced IPL device is ideal for treating age spots, sun damage, and visible veins while improving skin tone and clarity. IPL treatments are commonly performed on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands where sun damage and discoloration frequently occur.
What IPL Can Treat
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Rosacea and persistent redness
- Broken capillaries and spider veins
- Uneven skin tone and blotchiness
- Mild hyperpigmentation
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most healthy adults dealing with visible sun damage, facial redness, or pigmentation issues are excellent candidates for IPL. We will evaluate your skin and cosmetic goals during a personalized consultation to determine the right treatment plan for you.

What to Expect During an IPL Treatment
Your procedure will be performed in-office at our state-of-the-art El Segundo clinic. Treatments typically last about 30 minutes.
Your provider will cleanse your skin, apply a cooling gel, and deliver precise pulses of light to the treatment area. You may feel a warm snapping sensation, but most patients find the treatment tolerable.
What to Expect After Your IPL Treatment
Following your procedure, your skin may feel warm or look slightly red—similar to a mild sunburn. Be sure to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen daily to protect your skin as it heals and ensure optimal results. Pigmentation may darken temporarily before gradually fading.
Most patients see improvements after just one session, but a series of four to six treatments spaced several weeks apart often delivers the best outcome. Results last six to 12 months, on average.
How Much Does IPL Photorejuvenation Cost in El Segundo?
Pricing varies depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions recommended for your skin. We’ll go over all of your options and provide a full cost breakdown during your consultation.

FAQs about IPL
How many IPL sessions will I need?
We’ll customize your treatment plan based on your skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Most patients achieve the best possible results with a series of four to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart.
Is IPL safe for all skin tones?
IPL works best on light to medium skin tones. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type to determine the ideal treatment approach for accomplishing your desired results.
Does IPL hurt?
Patients often describe feeling warmth and a quick snapping sensation but report minimal discomfort. Cooling technology is used to protect the skin and keep the procedure comfortable.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements often begin to appear within a few weeks. Full results will build over several weeks as the skin repairs and renews itself.
Can I combine IPL with other treatments?
Yes. IPL works well with complementary aesthetic services like Botox®, dermal fillers, and AquaGold® facials. During your consultation, we will discuss all of your concerns and create a comprehensive plan to achieve your cosmetic goals.
