Contact UsWhat Is IPL?
If you're bothered by the appearance of sun damage or pigmentation on your skin, you may benefit from intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments at FitSkin Laser & Med Spa in Wilsonville, OR. An IPL photofacial is a rejuvenating treatment for pigmentation concerns on the face and neck. Owner Jackie Briles applies intense pulses of light energy to start the natural healing process and increase collagen production. With added collagen, you should begin to see a healthier complexion, an enhanced tone, and fewer spots of pigmentation. A photofacial is not an invasive treatment option and can lead to impressive improvements in your complexion. Jackie utilizes the Alma Harmony® XL PRO laser to perform IPL photofacials and can offer you a skin analysis to see if this service can benefit you.
IPL Treatment FAQ
How much does IPL cost?
Your skin is unique so the cost of IPL therapy will depend on your specific skin condition. FitSkin Laser & Med Spa runs monthly specials from time to time and accepts several different payment methods. At your aesthetic consultation, Jackie can help estimate your treatment cost and determine how many sessions you'll need to reach your goals.
How quick are the results from IPL?
Visible skin improvements can be seen after each Harmony XL PRO IPL session, but optimal results typically happen about one month after your final treatment. It’s common for your skin to show varying results after each treatment. You will most likely see a gradual decrease in redness, blotchiness, age spots, and sun spots over time.
What are the possible side effects of IPL?
You may experience some minor, temporary side effects, including swelling, redness, blisters, crusting, or bruising. These symptoms go away within a day or two after the procedure. Your skin will be photosensitive, meaning sun exposure can impact your results. Use sunscreen to protect your skin and help prevent additional issues, including sun spots and redness.
Do I need to prep for IPL?
Patients preparing to receive IPL therapy at the FitSkin Laser & Med Spa office in Wilsonville, OR are typically asked to avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for several weeks prior to their appointment. You might need to stop using certain medications and topical creams (like Retin-A) a few days before your treatment. Jackie may also recommend that you avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications and blood thinners a week before the procedure to help prevent bruising. You should also use sun protection, like a hat and sunscreen.
Why should I get multiple IPL sessions?
Multiple IPL treatments can provide gradual improvements to your complexion. Every session will help to fade surface irregularities and spots. Multiple sessions tend to produce longer-lasting outcomes.
FitSkin Laser & Med Spa Reviews
I have had micro needling in the past and each time it was very painful. I had zero pain with RF micro needling with Jackie. I was amazed! I highly recommend her service and will see her again when I’m back in Portland.
Jackie is wonderful! You’re in great hands, literally! I noticed great results after my first procedure and will definitely be going back. Thank you Jackie!
Jackpot with Jackie! I literally feel like I won the lottery by finding Jackie to work with regarding my skincare concerns. I did a Clear Lift and Vivace Microneedling treatment and my face is glowing. I have had numerous compliments from friends, and I can truly notice the results, especially fading of dark spots and a reduction in fine lines. Before I even came in to the office, she spent an hour answering questions and talking through specific concerns over the phone during a consultation which can be booked for free on her website. I found Jackie to be extremely knowledgable about effective skincare treatments and products. She uses up-to-date technological treatments and has invested in using the most advanced lasers and devices in her practice. It's a bonus that Jackie has a medical background and it really shows with her scientific knowledge of the face/skin and how to treat it. She has a wonderful personality and will make you feel comfortable no matter what your background or treatment concerns. Go treat yourself and book a session with Jackie! Could not recommend her more!
I have had the pleasure of working professionally with Jackie and I am now her client. The environment fun, comfortable, and safe. As a rookie in skin care myself, Jackie explained the mechanisms of action for the laser technology and is both efficient and skilled. I highly recommend and I will continue to go back.
