Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target a variety of skin concerns, such as sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and fine lines. IPL technology delivers intense pulses of light to the skin's surface, penetrating deep into the layers to treat skin imperfections while stimulating collagen production. At VIVIFY Medspa, we offer IPL treatments in Tampa to help patients achieve a clearer, more youthful complexion without the need for invasive procedures.
The best candidates for IPL are individuals looking to address concerns such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or redness. This treatment is suitable for those with light to medium skin tones who wish to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing more invasive procedures. During your consultation at VIVIFY Medspa, we will evaluate your skin type and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine if IPL is the right treatment for you.

How long do IPL results last?
Most patients describe IPL as feeling like a quick snap on the skin. Any discomfort is minimal and short-lived.
The number of treatments depends on your skin condition and goals. For the best results, patients typically undergo three to six treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Results become visible a few days after treatment and continue to improve over the following weeks. Multiple sessions may be needed for more significant improvements.
Common side effects include mild redness and temporary darkening of pigmented spots, which fade within a few days. Serious side effects are rare when experienced professionals administer IPL.
With proper skin care and sun protection, IPL results can last for several months to a year. Maintenance treatments can help preserve your skin’s clarity and radiance over time.
