IPL Skin Rejuvenation

IPL Skin Rejuvenation in Virginia Beach

Restore Your Glow with a Professional Photofacial

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, also widely known as a Photofacial, is a premier non-invasive skin treatment at Glo Skin Spa. Our IPL Skin Rejuvenation in Virginia Beach uses advanced broad-spectrum light to target pigment and vascular irregularities, effectively “erasing” years of skin damage without the downtime of traditional lasers.

How IPL Technology Works

Unlike standard lasers that use a single wavelength, our IPL device delivers multiple wavelengths of pulsating light that penetrate deep into the dermis. This light energy is absorbed by unwanted melanin (dark spots) and hemoglobin (redness), breaking them down so your body can naturally clear them away. Simultaneously, the gentle heat stimulates collagen production, leaving your skin firmer and more youthful.

What Can Our Virginia Beach IPL Treatments Address?

Whether you are looking to reverse sun damage or manage chronic redness, our customized IPL sessions are effective for:

• Sun & Age Spots: Fading dark spots and freckles caused by UV exposure.

• Rosacea & Redness: Reducing facial flushing and visible broken capillaries.

• Fine Lines: Smoothing early signs of aging through collagen stimulation.

• Acne & Scarring: Clearing active acne bacteria and reducing the appearance of scars.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need? Most clients see optimal results after a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.

Is there any downtime? IPL is a “lunchtime” procedure with minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness or a “coffee ground” darkening of spots for a few days before they flake off to reveal clear skin.

Is it painful? Most patients describe the sensation as a light “rubber band snap” against the skin. We use cooling techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the 20–45 minute session.

Discontinue retinoids at least 4 days prior. may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.

How it Works

IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin.

When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the thing you’re being treated for. Unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.

After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even and the collagen has been stimulated.
