Reveal brighter, more even skin without surgery or downtime — Intense Pulsed Light therapy that targets imperfections with precision.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial at Valley Aesthetic uses Venus Concept technology to deliver precise, controlled pulses of light deep into the skin's layers. Unlike lasers that target a single wavelength, IPL emits a broad spectrum of light that can simultaneously address multiple concerns — from brown spots and sun damage to redness, spider veins, and uneven skin tone. The light energy is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, selectively breaking down discoloration and vascular irregularities without harming the surrounding tissue.
What makes our IPL treatment truly exceptional is Venus Concept's built-in real-time cooling system, which ensures continuous comfort throughout the session. The light passes precisely through the skin's layers, targeting imperfections at their source while leaving the surface intact. You can expect to return to your day immediately after treatment — no downtime, no concealing, just progressively clearer, more luminous skin with each session.
Schedule a ConsultationArrive with clean skin — no lotions, creams, or makeup. Avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure for two weeks prior to treatment. Discontinue any retinoids or irritating skincare products 2–3 days before your appointment. Remove all jewelry from the treatment area. Your provider will assess your skin type and customize the IPL settings accordingly.
A cool gel is applied to the skin and a handpiece is gently placed against your face. Each pulse of IPL light delivers a brief sensation — often described as a light snap or flick on the skin surface. The built-in cooling system works continuously to keep treatment comfortable. Most sessions are completed in 15–20 minutes with minimal discomfort.
Mild redness may occur but typically resolves within a few hours to one day. Apply sunscreen immediately and avoid tanning for two weeks post-treatment. Skip hot baths and saunas for 2 days. Makeup is permitted immediately after treatment — apply SPF first. Brown spots may temporarily darken before flaking away, which is a normal part of the healing process.
