IPL Photofacial services offered in Clifton, Ridgewood and Maywood, NJ

Target selected sun-related pigmentation and visible redness with an IPL photofacial assessment at Jeluja. Treatment is matched to your skin tone and the concern being addressed.

Light treatment for selected skin concerns

IPL stands for intense pulsed light. It uses broad-spectrum light rather than a single laser wavelength. Depending on the device and treatment settings, IPL can target selected superficial pigment or visible blood vessels associated with redness.

Sun spots and an uneven-looking complexion

For suitable skin, a treatment course may soften the appearance of selected sun-related spots and create a more even-looking complexion. The number of sessions and degree of change vary. An assessment is needed to distinguish a cosmetic spot from a lesion that needs medical care.

IPL and melasma are not the same conversation

Melasma can be sensitive to heat and inflammation. IPL is not automatically appropriate for melasma, darker skin tones or recently tanned skin. Our pigmentation care page explains why the underlying diagnosis matters.

During and after treatment

The skin is prepared and protective eyewear is used. Pulses may feel warm or like brief snapping sensations. Redness, swelling and temporary darkening of treated pigment can occur. Do not pick at treated areas, and follow your own instructions for skin care and sun exposure.

Recovery and results

Results are assessed as the skin settles and across any planned series. Burns, blistering, pigment changes and scarring are possible. Sun protection remains important after treatment because new sun damage can create further pigment changes.

For rough texture or fine lines, microneedling or another skin treatment may address a different part of your goal.
