Contact UsWhat is IPL?
Suppose you struggle with how your skin appears because of sun damage or dark spots. In that case, Providence Dermatology can offer you a skin analysis at our Providence, UT office to determine if you could benefit from IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. An IPL photofacial is a skin rejuvenation treatment for adults with hyperpigmentation concerns on their neck and face. A photofacial may be a noninvasive process; however, it can be very effective and create great outcomes. Dr. Travis James utilizes the Harmony XL PRO Dye-VL PRO laser to send intense light that heats the skin cells just enough to start the natural healing process and boost collagen production. In time, you should see a healthier layer with a more even tone and fewer spots of pigmentation.
How Does IPL Work?
IPL is done at our Providence, UT office in about 20 – 30 minutes in one of our minor procedure rooms if performed alone. To start the procedure, your technician will clean and dry your skin before protecting your eyes with special shields. The IPL photofacial is performed using the handheld Dye-VL PRO wand that will pass over the skin while emitting light energy pulses. While most patients may feel some discomfort throughout the IPL, it's usually bearable for the quick treatment length.
Providence Dermatology Reviews
Dr. James, and Mandy are absolutely fantastic. They jumped through a ton of hoops to help me get dupixent. which is a long process especially with my insurance company being difficult. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone with any dermatology issues. They really care about helping their patients.
Dr. James and his staff are caribg, responsive, and honest. I really appreciate Dr James presenting me with options to reduce a scar without being pushy.
Dr. James is awesome, he was able to get taken care of extremely quickly. I’ve been in for laser removal and stitches. The office is very comfortable and the staff is kind and helpful. Definitely recommend!
The whole experience was great. Scheduling, arriving, being seen, all of it. Felt cared for by Dr. James. Even though it was a quick visit, he took his time to take care of me. Will be back if I need something done. Definitely recommend!
Love coming here.

About UsIPL FAQs
How quick are the results from IPL?
Visible improvements can usually be seen after your session, but final results are visible a month after completing a full series of treatments. It’s normal for your skin to get varying results after each treatment. You should see a gradual improvement of blotchiness, redness, sunspots, and age spots over time.
What are the possible side effects of IPL?
Most patients have mild, temporary side effects, like redness, swelling, blisters, crusting, or bruising. These go away on their own in a few days. You will be sun-sensitive, and excessive sun exposure will negatively impact your results. We also recommend using sunscreen to prevent damage like spots and redness.
Do I need to prep for IPL?
To prepare for an IPL treatment, patients are usually asked to skip self-tanners and excessive sun for 2 – 4 weeks prior to the treatment. You may be asked to discontinue the use of minocycline, tetracycline, doxycycline, or Retin-A/Renova several days before each procedure, and you may want to start taking pain relievers for a week before your procedure to decrease your risk of bruising. You should also use sunscreen.
