IPL - Intense Pulsed Light Treatments in Boise, ID

Age Spots and Red Skin Removal and Repair with IPL

IPL is a "lunchtime" procedure and an extremely popular treatment to rejuvenate and revitalize skin, creating a more youthful appearance.

Intense Pulsed Light devices pass varying strengths of light into the skin and damaged skin cells absorb the light energy and convert it to heat. The light source is concentrated to target its energy into the dermis to treat discolorations, unsightly facial veins, redness and provide an overall rejuvenated effect to your skin. These types of devices repair and improve a wide array of cosmetic concerns with meaningful results over a short time period.

Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation uses a concentrated light source to target power deep down into the dermis without injuring the surface of the skin, to improve a range of cosmetic concerns including: discolorations, unsightly veins, and redness. IPL® Skin Rejuvenation has the added benefit of providing an overall "rejuvenated" effect to the skin. Because the surface layers of the skin remain intact there is minimal downtime, less risk and discomfort than more powerful treatments such as the Pixel fractional laser skin resurfacing procedure. Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation is used to successfully treat a wide array of cosmetic concerns. Individuals with deeper fine lines & wrinkles, crepey skin, discoloration and uneven texture or tone should consider a skin resurfacing procedure or a combination treatment such as Laser360 that can combine skin tightening, intense pulsed light and laser resurfacing into a single procedure.

Age spots and red discoloration can be reduced and removed from your face, neck and arms with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) at Spa 35 Med Spa. New Ways To A New You! Learn more here: https://spa35.com/intense-pulsed-light-ipl/

Best IPL Experience Ever

I always look forward to my appointments at Spa35. Since coming here, I’ve noticed an incredible difference in my skin’s color, texture, and appearance. The services at Spa 35 are top-notch, and the staff makes it an amazing experience each time. Shannon has been giving me IPLs and laser hair removal treatments, and I absolutely enjoy her perfectionism. She won’t let one spot go untreated and always welcomes me with a hug. After the appointment, we have the best time. Shannon makes IPLs fun, which is an oxymoron, but she makes it happen. She’s a true professional, and I owe looking great for my wedding to her. Thank you, Shannon, and the Spa 35 team for a best-in-class experience!

IPL Results Were Dramatic

I have been going to Spa 35 for a couple of months and could not be happier with the results! I never felt my skin was "bad enough" to get help, but after a decade of being self-conscious, I decided to give it a try. Shannon at Spa 35 put me on a plan of product and IPL and only halfway through it the changes are DRAMATIC! My skin has TRANSFORMED and I could not be happier. In addition, the staff is always so friendly and helpful. Could not recommend more!

IPL & XPL FAQs

IPL is a high energy light procedure that uses the different light absorption properties of various skin cells to remove cells produced from aging and sun damage. Some of the steps of a typical procedure include;
1. Completion of a consultation with a skin care specialist. During this consultation discuss patient concerns and goals. Develop a comprehensive plan to reach those goals that includes Spa 35 procedures and at home lifestyle changes and skin care habits.
2. Schedule the Intense Pulsed Light procedure. Pick a time when sun exposure to the treatment area has been minimized to decrease active melanin production at the time of the procedure.
3. Have the procedure done. It will take about forty-five minutes. The pulses have been described as "hot rubber bands being snapped on the face". It's not excruciating, but there are more enjoyable things to do with your day. Your skin may turn very red and flaky after the procedure, you may have crusting of the darker spots.
4. Follow the post procedure instructions. Particularly important is avoidance of sun exposure.
5. Improve lifestyle habits that produce damaged skin. Increase healthy food intake that is rich in nutrients good for you and your skin (i.e. oranges for vitamin C), use a sunscreen with physical blocks (i.e. titanium dioxide), add Retin-A, vitamin C and peptides to your skin care regime.
The device that delivers Intense Pulsed Light, the Harmony®XL System, has been cleared by the FDA for more than 60 aesthetic and medical applications.

As with many cosmetic treatments there are risks associated with IPL, such as burning. Details on risks and contraindications are provided as part of the IPL consultation and detailed in the informed consent.
Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. You may be red and/or flaky (particularly age spots) after the IPL treatment. Makeup is normally sufficient to cover up most IPL effects. You should avoid excessive exercise and sun exposure after the treatment. Details on risks and contraindications are provided as part of the IPL consultation and detailed in the informed consent.
IPL is usually sold in an and initial series of three treatments for $499-$999 depending upon the treatment area. Annual touch-ups are recommended and they can cost between $249 and $349.
