IPL Photofacial — The Secret to Fading Sun Spots and Evening Skin Tone
Struggling with Sun Spots, Age Spots, or Uneven Skin Tone?
Years of sun exposure can leave behind unwanted reminders — dark spots, freckles, redness, and uneven pigmentation that no amount of concealer can fully hide. IPL Photofacial is one of the most effective treatments available for addressing these concerns, and at Slender Me Medical, we offer it at our Corona, CA location starting at $495 per session.
What Is an IPL Photofacial?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike a traditional laser, which uses a single wavelength of light, IPL uses a broad spectrum of light wavelengths to target multiple skin concerns simultaneously. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented cells (like sun spots and freckles) and by the blood vessels responsible for redness and rosacea, causing them to break down and fade over time.
The result is a more even, clearer, and more youthful-looking complexion — without surgery or significant downtime.
What Can IPL Photofacial Treat?
- Sun spots and age spots
- Freckles and hyperpigmentation
- Redness and mild rosacea
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Broken capillaries
- Early signs of photoaging
What Does the Treatment Feel Like?
Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick snaps or warm flashes — similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The treatment is generally well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia. Each session typically takes 20–30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
What to Expect After Treatment
After your IPL Photofacial, you may notice some redness and mild swelling that typically resolves within a few hours to a few days. Sun spots and pigmentation may temporarily appear darker before they flake off and fade — this is a normal and expected part of the process. Avoid sun exposure before and after your treatment and use broad-spectrum sunscreen diligently.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Most patients require up to 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results. Some patients with mild concerns see significant improvement after just one session, while those with more extensive pigmentation may benefit from the full series.

Is IPL Right for You?
IPL is most effective for lighter skin tones. Darker skin tones may not be suitable candidates, as the broad-spectrum light can also target melanin in the surrounding skin. A consultation with our team is recommended to determine if IPL is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
