You probably didn't think too much about your skin's health when you were a child, but once skin damage, such as spots and other issues, develops, you may be interested in treatments that correct your complexion. Unlike traditional laser treatments, intense pulsed light therapy works gently on the skin cells and surrounding tissue, improving skin texture, tone, and overall radiance with minimal downtime.
We invite you to learn more about IPL treatments by contacting our Draper, UT office and scheduling a skin assessment with our team. This non-invasive IPL procedure is suitable for most skin types, including medium and darker skin tones, and is often combined with chemical peels or other skin treatments for enhanced skin rejuvenation. With IPL photofacial treatments at Clarity Skin, we can reach the deeper layers of your skin to help restore a radiant glow and a healthy complexion.

Does sun damage or uneven skin tone leave you longing for a brighter complexion?
At Clarity Skin in Draper, UT, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy using the advanced Candela Nordlys system. An IPL photofacial is a noninvasive treatment suitable for adult men and women struggling with hyperpigmentation on the face and neck.
During the procedure, our team applies gentle pulses of light from the Candela Nordlys system. This light heats the skin just enough to trigger your body's natural healing process, boosting collagen production. As these added nutrients take effect, you'll gradually see a healthier, more even-toned complexion with reduced hyperpigmentation.
Our IPL photofacial utilizes the advanced Candela Nordlys system and can be completed comfortably within 20 – 30 minutes at our Draper, UT office. Before the treatment, a technician will cleanse and dry your targeted skin area and provide protective eyewear. During the procedure, they'll use the handheld Nordlys device to deliver gentle pulses of light across your skin. While some patients experience mild discomfort, the treatment's brevity usually makes it well-tolerated.

Many patients notice visible improvements in 2–3 weeks, with optimal results achieved after a series of IPL sessions tailored to their treatment plan.
An IPL photofacial targets the deeper layers of your skin to address various complexion issues, particularly sunspots and brown lesions, with minimal or no recovery time required.
Candidates for IPL treatments at Clarity Skin may experience a range of skin concerns, including sun damage, rosacea, brown spots (hyperpigmentation), rough texture, enlarged pores, facial flushing, melasma, age spots, and broken capillaries.
Our team will evaluate your skin during a private consultation to determine if IPL is a suitable option for you. IPL may not be recommended for those with active sunburn, recent tanning, or certain skin conditions, so a consultation is essential.
Recovery is generally minimal. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, though mild redness or slight swelling may appear for a few hours. Proper sun protection and skincare are essential during the healing process to maintain results and protect sun-damaged skin.

Experience a non-invasive, rejuvenating IPL photofacial and reveal clearer, more radiant skin.
Improvements can be seen following your treatment, but the best results are visible about one month after a full series of treatments is completed. It's common for you to get varying results after every treatment session. Over time, you will notice fading of blotchiness, redness, and spots (age, brown, and sun).
Most patients have mild, temporary side effects, like redness, swelling, crusting, bruising, or superficial blisters. This should subside in a few days. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun, and you should keep in mind that damaging UV rays can negatively affect your results. Whenever you go outside, you should always wear sunscreen to protect your skin and prevent issues like spots and redness.
Before getting IPL, patients are asked to skip self-tanners and excessive sun for about 2 – 4 weeks before their treatment. You may be asked to discontinue the use of minocycline, tetracycline, doxycycline or Retin-A/Renova a few days before each appointment, and you may want to start taking aspirin or ibuprofen for 5 – 7 days before your appointment to help prevent bruising. You should also use sunscreen since your skin will be extra sensitive.
We offer multiple energy treatment options to improve skin health, including Laser Acne Treatment, Laser Hair Removal, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Laser Tattoo Removal, and RF Microneedling.
