Photorejuvenation with IPL
Intense Pulsed Light in Madison, WI
Light can have a negative or positive impact on the skin. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun, for instance, can cause cosmetic damage and worse, while focused light, properly applied, can reverse early signs of aging. Radiance Skin Therapy uses a light-based device for beneficial photorejuvenation: IPL. Madison-area women and men who want to address anything from discrete pigmentation problems to overall skin tone and texture can enjoy a brighter, more even look.
IPL stands for intense pulsed light. This treatment involves pulses of multiple wavelengths that heat the skin and promote change.

Photorejuvenation with IPL
The IPL offered at Radiance Skin Therapy visibly improves pigmentation issues, age and sun spots, vascularity, general redness, and overall skin appearance. We use the Lumenis® M22™ for IPL photorejuvenation. This system allows us to treat more than 30 skin conditions and imperfections caused by sun damage and other environmental stressors. The energy-based treatment targets pigmented cells to improve overall pigmentation, as well as the look of age/sun spots, visible vessels, rosacea, acne, and overall skin health.
This multi-modality platform also allows Radiance to offer numerous combination therapies for the ultimate in customized skin rejuvenation. IPL combined with our fractional laser, for example, will improve skin tone and texture, increase collagen production, and address large pores, stretch marks, scars, and more.
Are IPL Treatments Right for You?
We encourage each person to share their ultimate cosmetic goals with us at an initial consultation, as well as point out any specific cosmetic concerns they have. This, plus a skin assessment, will allow us to create a custom-designed plan. Each person’s situation and desires will be different, so the types and numbers of treatments will vary from person to person.
In cases where IPL is deemed the most appropriate treatment, we will explain the specific light source being used, as well as what to do to prepare for the session itself and how to best care for your skin after.
What to Expect from an IPL Session
Using IPL, spots and other pigment-based problems take days to weeks to correct, leading to clearer skin. Similarly, collagen takes time to build up in the skin when renewed production starts, so the look of wrinkles, laxity, and other signs of aging will gradually improve in the weeks and months after a session or series of treatments.
After an IPL treatment, be sure to avoid or minimize ultraviolet radiation exposure, as your skin will be particularly sensitive to sunlight in the following days. Wear a suitable sunscreen when going outdoors (even on overcast days), keep treated skin covered by clothing, and avoid peak sunlight hours by staying inside. Once the skin heals, you can resume typical daily activities—though you should always wear proper sunscreen.
