Recapture Youthful
Skin with an IPL Photofacial
IPL Photofacials at Begin Anew Med Spa
If you haven’t discovered the magic of an IPL photofacial or IPL laser treatment yet, let this be your sign. You’ve probably heard the terms photofacial or IPL facial but may not be exactly sure what this treatment is, how it works, or what it does.
An IPL photo facial (intense pulsed light photo facial) is a versatile skin rejuvenation procedure that combines the effects of a powerful yet gentle laser light treatment with results you might see from the highest-grade medical facial – and then some! It’s the most advanced and effective “facial” available today and is always performed in the medspa by an expert laser technician.
Photorejuvenation using an IPL laser can effectively target and treat discoloration, sun damage, brown spots, vascular and pigmented lesions, acne and acne scars, broken capillaries, and rosacea. An IPL treatment can also stimulate collagen production to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
At Begin Anew Med Spa in Jupiter IPL Photofacial capabilities are at the heart of our offerings. We take pride in presenting the market’s three most potent, efficient, comfortable, and safe laser devices. We are proud to be a Candela premiere partner and one of the few practices in the area to offer the new technology Candela GentleMax Pro Plus, along with the original cult-favorite Candela Gentlemax Pro. We also offer the even more powerful Nordlys Ellipse IPL, known as the gold standard in photofacial treatments.
Before & Afters
IPL Photofacial
What is an IPL Photofacial?
Clear, Beautifully Even-Toned Skin is Possible
An IPL Photofacial device works by delivering an arc of light energy that penetrates all levels of the skin without harming or ablating the surface (the epidermis), so there’s little to no downtime afterward. This light treatment can be performed on the face, hands, neck, chest, and legs. The head of the IPL device is usually larger than most lasers, which allows for rapid treatment of both the face and larger body areas.
The first IPL Photofacial device was FDA-approved in 1995 to treat dilated blood vessels known as spider veins. Today, IPL technology has advanced to include many more indications and treatments for all skin types and tones. Unlike chemical peels or ablative laser treatments of the past, a laser facial is comfortable with minimal to no downtime.
Lighten the Dark
What are the benefits of an IPL Photofacial?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, also called a photofacial, is a fast, easy, and effective way to improve the tone and texture of your skin without surgery or invasive ablative procedures or chemical peels. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure, known as photoaging.
This is a type of discoloration that is visible on your face, neck, hands, or chest and adds years to your appearance. An IPL Photofacial treatment will even out your skin tone and texture, correct any dark spots or areas of imperfections, and stimulate collagen production – all of which help make your skin look younger and healthier.
The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus and GentleMax Pro are technically a laser, not a light, yet feature the same amazing photofacial capabilities as an IPL using Pulsed Light Technology. With its patented Dynamic Cooling Device, patients love this laser treatment because it’s comfortable and highly effective at removing dark spots, evening out the complexion, fading freckles, and creating a younger-looking appearance in just one session.
The Nordlys Ellipse IPL is a true IPL photofacial treatment with powerful skin-perfecting and dark spot-targeting abilities. This effective yet gentle treatment is ideal for patients with acne and acne scars, broken blood vessels on the face, rosacea, and other types of discoloration.
A Personalized Approach to Beauty
Your IPL Photofacial Consultation
As South Florida’s leading Med Spa for IPL therapy, laser treatments, and photorejuvenation, our aesthetics experts will meet with you to examine your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, and review your medical history. From there, we will create a customized and targeted treatment plan that will work best for you and your skin and deliver results in the fastest and safest way possible.
Due to the number of IPL and skin-perfecting laser treatments that we offer, we always start with a personal consultation and skin examination before beginning any laser or light therapy. This way, we can recommend the treatments that will work best for you. For further information about IPL Photofacial Jupiter patients can schedule a consultation with us to explore their treatment options.
What to Expect with a Photofacial
Your IPL Photofacial Procedure
An IPL photofacial session usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Afterward, you may notice slight swelling or redness, which should go away very quickly, and your skin may feel like it has a sunburn. Any dark spots may darken slightly before eventually disappearing or “falling off.” Most patients are able to resume their regular activities immediately, and you are able to put makeup on right away. After healing has occurred, many patients report being able to skip wearing makeup altogether.
We advise clients to stay out of the sun and avoid self-tanners for 3-4 weeks prior to a photofacial procedure.
Beautiful Skin for a Lifetime
IPL Photofacial Results
The results of an IPL photofacial can be noticeable for six months to a year. Depending on the IPL device used and your skin conditions and goals, typically, 3 photofacial treatments are recommended 3-4 weeks apart for best results. We typically recommend maintenance treatments every six to 12 months to help prolong results and keep any new discoloration at a minimum.
The darker the discoloration gets, the harder it is to remove. To help increase the time between treatments, we recommend you stay out of the sun, always wear a sunblock with an SPF of at least 30 if you are going outside, and cover up your skin with long sleeves or a hat whenever possible.
A Minimally Invasive Miracle Skin Treatment
IPL Photofacial Recovery and Aftercare
Side effects from an IPL photofacial are minimal and typically resolve very quickly. Most patients tolerate this procedure very well and are thrilled by their results.
What to expect during recovery after IPL:
- The flushed appearance often fades within two to five days.
- There’s a chance mild bruises could remain for up to two weeks.
- Spots and freckles that darken in color often disappear after three to seven days.
- Up to ten days of crusting is possible.
- Sunburn-like redness may occur for two to five hours after treatment.
It is highly unusual for a single patient to experience all of these aftereffects.

Frequently Asked Questions
An IPL photofacial treatment uses intense wavelengths of light to heat the surface of the skin in order to target and break down areas of discoloration, activate the skin’s regenerative properties and boost collagen production. Over time, patients are left with a smoother and more radiant skin tone, a healthier-looking complexion, and less visible sun damage and discoloration.
IPL is an excellent option for patients who want to address many of the signs of aging with one treatment. When it comes to overall skin perfecting, an IPL photofacial delivers. A laser facial will help improve fine lines, erase sun spots, soothe redness, and brighten dull skin without pain or downtime.
The Nordlys Ellipse IPL laser treats a variety of skin conditions by using a combination of fractional and infrared lasers, which can cover both small and large areas. The Nordlys is one of the most efficient and high-powered lasers on the market – treating larger areas quicker with fewer sessions needed and minimal discomfort.
