IPL Photofacial in Encino, CA
IPL — Intense Pulsed Light — is one of the most effective treatments for reversing sun damage, reducing redness, eliminating brown spots, and improving overall skin tone with minimal downtime. At BHSkin Dermatology’s Encino office, Dr. Asmi Berry uses IPL as part of a comprehensive cosmetic dermatology toolkit, customizing treatment parameters to your skin type and concerns for safe, optimal results.
How IPL Works — Light That Targets What You Don't Want
Intense Pulsed Light delivers multiple wavelengths of light energy to the skin simultaneously. Unlike lasers (which use a single wavelength), IPL targets multiple chromophores — primarily melanin (pigment) and oxyhemoglobin (blood vessels) — in a single pass. The light energy is absorbed by these targets, heating and destroying them, while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.
The result: brown spots fade, red and pink redness diminishes, and the overall tone and clarity of the skin improves. A series of 3–5 treatments produces dramatic cumulative improvement — with each session building on the last to progressively clear the skin.
