Goodbye, sun damage. Hello, clear skin.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive light-based treatment that targets sun damage, brown spots, redness, and broken capillaries. It restores a more even, radiant complexion by using gentle pulses of light to break up pigment and reduce discoloration—without harming surrounding skin.

I won’t go anywhere else for my Fraxel treatments! Nothing else has helped so drastically with treating and maintenance for my acne scarring. I’ve been seeing Mariana for Fraxel and she’s amazing! I’ve learned so much and get compliments often on my skin, which never used to happen. I’m so grateful for Laser Center of Marin!

how it

Works

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target and break up melanin (brown pigment) and hemoglobin (redness) in the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the unwanted pigment, which then rises to the surface and flakes off over several days. Most patients describe it as a warm, snapping sensation during treatment, followed by a mild sunburn-like feeling. Over time, your skin becomes clearer, brighter, and more even in tone.

candidate?

If you’re frustrated with dark spots, redness, uneven skin tone, or sun damage—especially on your face, chest, or hands—IPL could be a great option. It’s best for those with lighter skin tones and visible pigmentation concerns who want real improvement without downtime or invasive procedures.
