IPL: Fade Sun Spots & Redness | Feel Ideal 360 Southlake

Studies show that up to 90% of visible skin aging—like sun spots, redness, and uneven tone—is caused by sun exposure. If you're noticing these signs, you're not alone—and there’s a simple, effective solution. IPL Photofacials (Intense Pulsed Light therapy) use light energy to target pigmentation and stimulate collagen production, revealing smoother, brighter skin. It’s a non-invasive way to refresh your complexion—with no downtime.

What Is an IPL Photofacial?

IPL therapy is a skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Unlike lasers, which use one specific wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, making it ideal for treating a variety of skin issues at once.

When light pulses are delivered to the skin, they’re absorbed by pigments like melanin (responsible for sun spots) and hemoglobin (linked to redness). This energy turns into heat, breaking down problem areas while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. As a bonus, IPL also stimulates collagen production—helping skin become firmer and more even over time.

At Feel Ideal 360 in Southlake, Texas, Dr. Straface and her expert team offer IPL Photofacials as part of a personalized approach to skin health and rejuvenation. 

What Can IPL Treat?

IPL Photofacials are ideal for improving:

• Sun damage and sun spots

• Redness and rosacea

• Age spots and discoloration

• Uneven skin tone

• Fine lines and texture issues

If your skin looks dull or blotchy, this treatment can help bring back a youthful glow.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before your session at Feel Ideal 360, you’ll meet with a trained provider for a consultation. They’ll assess your skin type, discuss your concerns, and determine if IPL is right for you.

Here’s what the appointment typically looks like:

1. Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and a numbing cream may be applied.

2. Protection: You’ll wear goggles to protect your eyes from the light.

3. Treatment: The IPL device is passed over the skin. Most people describe the feeling as a quick snap—like a rubber band.

4. Post-Treatment: Your skin may appear red or slightly puffy, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually fades within hours. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your normal routine right away.

Benefits of IPL Photofacials

There’s a reason IPL is one of the most popular treatments at Feel Ideal 360:

• Non-invasive and painless

• Quick treatments (30–60 minutes)

• Minimal to no downtime

• Targets multiple skin concerns

• Improves skin over time with repeated sessions

For best results, a series of treatments is often recommended, spaced several weeks apart. Results build gradually—and beautifully.

Aftercare Tips

To protect your results and support healing:

• Apply sunscreen daily to prevent new pigmentation

• Avoid harsh skincare like retinoids or exfoliants for a week

• Stay hydrated and moisturize regularly

• Watch for changes and follow up with your provider if needed

Who’s a Good Candidate?

IPL Photofacials work best for people with lighter to medium skin tones dealing with:

• Sun damage

• Rosacea or facial redness

• Age spots or uneven pigmentation

• Fine lines or rough texture

If you have darker skin, IPL may not be the ideal option due to a higher risk of pigmentation issues. Dr. Straface at Feel Ideal 360 will help determine if this or another treatment is best for your skin type.
