Reveal a Clearer, Brighter You with IPL Treatment
Promote cellular renewal and boost skin clarity
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation, redness, and other skin imperfections. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths to penetrate different layers of the skin.
At Dermaclinique, IPL is used to address sunspots, rosacea, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. The pulses of light heat the deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and cell renewal. The result is a smoother, more even complexion with improved clarity.

How does IPL therapy work?
IPL therapy uses light-based technology to selectively target specific skin concerns without damaging surrounding tissue. By delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light, IPL penetrates beneath the skin’s surface to address pigmentation, redness, and signs of aging at their source. Here’s how it treats different skin concerns:
Pigmentation concerns
Intense Pulsed Light therapy in St. Petersburg targets excess melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone, by delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment, breaking it down into smaller particles that rise to the surface and naturally flake off. This process effectively reduces sunspots, age spots, and other pigmentation irregularities.
Redness & vascular lesions
The light energy from IPL is also absorbed by hemoglobin in visible blood vessels, such as those caused by rosacea or broken capillaries. The heat generated causes the blood vessels to constrict and eventually be reabsorbed by the body. Over a series of treatments, this reduces facial redness, spider veins, and flushing for a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Fine lines & wrinkles
In addition to treating pigmentation and vascular concerns, IPL gently heats the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This increased collagen production helps to improve skin texture, minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores, and enhance skin firmness. The result is a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.
Advantages of IPL therapy:
- Treats multiple skin concerns in a single session
- Non-invasive with little to no downtime
- Improves skin tone, texture, and clarity
- Stimulates natural collagen production
- Safe for use on face, neck, chest, and hands
- Customizable settings for various skin types and concerns
- Gradual, natural-looking improvements over time
- Quick treatment sessions with minimal discomfort
Your IPL therapy session
Your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a cooling gel to ensure comfort. You’ll wear protective eyewear as brief pulses of light are delivered to targeted areas using a handheld device. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band.
Most treatments take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red or warm, but you can return to most activities right away with minimal downtime.
What is the recovery process?
After your Intense Pulsed Light therapy session in St. Petersburg, you may experience mild redness, warmth, or swelling, similar to a light sunburn, that usually subsides within a few hours. The pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off naturally over the next week.
