IPL Photofacial in Fort Lauderdale | Venus Versa

What is an IPL Photofacial?

A high-level overview of this powerful light-based skin treatment.

An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial, using the advanced Venus Versa™ system, is a treatment designed to reverse the signs of photoaging—the damage done to your skin by years of sun exposure. Unlike a laser, which uses a single wavelength of light, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light delivered in short pulses.

This light is specifically absorbed by pigment (melanin) in sun spots and hemoglobin in broken capillaries or spider veins. As the pigment absorbs the light, it is heated and destroyed. In the following days, the targeted brown spots will darken and flake off, while treated blood vessels are absorbed by the body. The result is a dramatically clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion.

Is IPL Right For You?

This is the go-to treatment for anyone looking to erase sun damage and even out their skin tone.

If you look at your skin and see a canvas of sun spots, age spots, freckles, or persistent redness that you'd like to clear away, an IPL photofacial is one of the most effective treatments available.

This treatment is an ideal choice if:

You have brown spots or pigmented lesions from sun exposure on your face, neck, chest, or hands.

You are bothered by broken capillaries, spider veins, or generalized redness, such as with Rosacea.

You want to improve the overall clarity and brightness of your skin.

You have a lighter skin type (Fitzpatrick I-IV), as IPL is not suitable for darker or tanned skin.

Questions? We have answers.

Is an IPL photofacial painful?

Patients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The feeling is very brief and well-tolerated. The Venus Versa system has a built-in cooling feature to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

What happens to the brown spots after the treatment?

You can expect the treated brown spots to get darker over the 24-48 hours following the procedure. They will take on a 'coffee ground' appearance and then naturally flake off over the next 7-14 days, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin underneath.

How is this different from a laser?

A laser uses a single, focused wavelength of light to target a very specific concern. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, which allows it to address multiple issues—like brown spots and redness—all in the same session, making it a very efficient rejuvenation treatment.
