What IPL Can Treat
Sunspots & Age Spots
Sun and time are the main cause of skin discoloration. IPL therapy can be an excellent choice for managing the appearance of sunspots and age spots.
Rosacea
IPL therapy works to reduce the inflammation, redness, uneven tone and pimples caused by rosacea.
Vascular Lesions
The appearance of vascular lesions like “port wine stains” and broken blood vessels (telangiectasias) can be corrected with IPL therapy.
Acne Spots
Sometimes acne breakouts cause frustrating, lasting red or dark spots called PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). IPL is considered to be a safe and effective solution for the treatment of PIH.

What to Expect with IPL Therapy
To begin, you’ll visit our Grand Rapids, MI office for an initial consultation where we will determine if IPL therapy is right for you. During this appointment, we will evaluate your skin, listen to your concerns, educate you about the treatment, discuss anticipated outcomes and talk about pricing. Your provider may also make recommendations for at-home care during this appointment.
During your Lumecca IPL treatment, there will be a bright flash of light from the handheld IPL device. Many patients say that it produces a sensation similar to that of a light rubber band snap. Redness and warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subside within an hour. Most patients find this non-invasive treatment to be quite tolerable.
While side effects vary, patients receiving IPL therapy may experience a slight warming sensation and redness immediately following the treatment, however, this typically subsides within hours. Most patients will experience a darkening of pigmented spots within 24 – 48 hours of their treatment. These dark spots will then flake off throughout the following week. Some patients find their skin is sensitive to sunlight immediately after the treatment. We recommend that you start your IPL therapy with untanned skin and avoid direct sunlight or tanning for at least six weeks following.
