IPL / DPL Photofacial in Estero, FL

A precise light treatment for pigment + redness

IPL and DPL Photofacials use targeted light energy to safely reduce discoloration, sun damage, and redness while improving overall skin clarity. IPL treats a broad range of pigment concerns, while DPL offers more precise wavelength control for improved targeting of vascular redness. At The Laser Lounge Spa Estero, we customize every photofacial to your skin type and concerns, helping you achieve brighter, clearer, more even-looking skin with minimal downtime.

Brighten & Clarify

Light-based technology that reduces discoloration and redness for clearer, more even-toned skin.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal for clients with sun damage, brown spots, redness, visible vessels, or uneven tone. Suitable for those wanting clearer, more balanced skin without invasive procedures. Best for lighter skin tones; a consultation determines candidacy and safety.

Primary Benefits

IPL/DPL reduce discoloration, brighten dull tone, target redness, refine visible vessels, and improve overall clarity. DPL provides enhanced precision for redness, while IPL treats a wider range of pigment concerns for a more even complexion.

Treatment Focus

Our focus is using tailored light wavelengths to safely break down brown and red discoloration. Each photofacial improves clarity and helps restore a brighter, more even-toned complexion over a series of treatments.

Light Energy for Clarity & Balance

Targeted Treatment for Discoloration

IPL and DPL Photofacials use controlled pulses of light to target unwanted pigment and redness. IPL treats sun damage, brown spots, and uneven tone, while DPL provides more precise targeting for redness and visible vessels. Both treatments promote clearer, brighter, more even-looking skin with minimal downtime and gradual improvements over a series of sessions.

Details

The device emits targeted pulses of light that absorb into pigmented or vascular areas. Dark spots gradually darken before flaking off, while redness calms as vessels are reduced. Mild redness is normal and typically resolves quickly.
