Enjoy Clear, Even-Toned Skin with an IPL Photofacial in Minneapolis

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a gentle yet powerful treatment that targets redness, pigmentation, and sunspots, restoring a brighter, more even skin tone with minimal downtime. Dr. Hagen’s expertise in advanced skin rejuvenation ensures precise, effective IPL treatments that deliver natural, long-lasting results. With his boutique, patient-centered approach, you’ll receive a customized skin treatment plan designed to restore your skin’s clarity and radiance.

What Is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses high-energy light pulses to target redness, pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Unlike laser treatments, which focus on a single wavelength, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to address multiple skin concerns at once, making it an effective solution for rosacea, sunspots, freckles, and general skin discoloration.

During the procedure, pulses of light penetrate the skin, breaking down excess pigmentation and stimulating collagen production for a clearer, more even complexion. The treatment is quick, requires no significant downtime, and delivers gradual improvements over several sessions. Under Dr. Hagen’s expert guidance, IPL is tailored to each patient’s skin type and goals, ensuring safe, effective, and natural-looking results.

The Benefits of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Reduced Redness and Discoloration: IPL improves rosacea, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation for more even-toned skin.
Non-Invasive and No Downtime: This is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that fits into any schedule.
Collagen-Boosting Effects: Stimulates natural collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and texture over time.
Progressive, Long-Lasting Results: With multiple sessions, IPL delivers gradual improvements that continue to refine your skin long after treatment.

Is IPL Right for Me?

If you have sun damage, redness, uneven skin tone, or persistent discoloration, IPL therapy can help restore a clearer, more radiant complexion. This treatment is ideal for patients struggling with rosacea, hyperpigmentation, sunspots, or dull skin who want a non-invasive way to even out their skin tone. IPL works best on lighter skin tones and is most effective with a series of treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Hagen will evaluate your skin and determine if IPL is the right solution to achieve your skin goals. If IPL isn’t the best fit, he will recommend other advanced treatments that align with your needs.

After Your IPL Treatment: Recovery & Results

After an IPL session, some patients experience mild redness, slight swelling, or darkening of pigment spots, which typically fade within a few days. The treated areas gradually clear over 7–14 days, revealing a brighter, more even complexion. For best results, most patients need a series of 3–5 IPL treatments spaced about a month apart.

Improvements continue over several weeks as collagen production increases and discoloration fades. Maintaining results with sun protection, medical-grade skincare, and occasional maintenance sessions can help keep skin clear and youthful in the long term.
