The Treatment in Depth
The IPL Package is a complete three-session protocol designed for clients who want meaningful, lasting improvement in their skin tone and clarity. IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a photofacial treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target the pigment and redness beneath the skin's surface — fading sun damage, age spots, broken capillaries, and overall ruddiness while leaving healthy tissue untouched.
Pigmentation and vascular concerns build up over years, so they respond best to a series rather than a single visit. Each of the three sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart, builds on the last — progressively breaking up stubborn pigment, calming redness, and evening out tone for the most significant and durable improvement. This package is especially effective for chronic or widespread sun damage that one session alone cannot fully address.
After treatment, it is normal for dark spots to temporarily darken into a coffee-grounds appearance before flaking away over the following days, revealing clearer skin underneath. At Blush 'N Beauty Spa, Lauren guides you through every stage with personalized post-care and skincare recommendations so your results continue to improve between visits. Results vary, but most clients are delighted by the cumulative glow a full series brings.
Key Benefits
How It Works
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Lauren evaluates your skin type, pigmentation, and concerns to confirm IPL is the right fit and to map out your three-session plan, both safe and tailored to your goals.
Prep & Protection
Your skin is cleansed, a cooling gel may be applied, and protective eyewear is provided. The IPL device is calibrated to your specific concerns for each session.
IPL Treatment
Pulses of broad-spectrum light are delivered across the treatment area, targeting pigment and redness beneath the surface. You may feel a light, warm snapping sensation as the device passes over the skin.
Series & Progressive Results
The three sessions are spaced roughly 3–4 weeks apart so each builds on the last. Spots typically darken and flake within days, with tone and clarity improving across the full series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a series of three sessions recommended?+
Pigmentation and redness develop over years and sit at varying depths, so they respond best to repeated treatments. Each session builds on the last, and the full series typically delivers the most significant, lasting improvement.
What does the coffee-grounds effect mean?+
After IPL, treated dark spots often rise to the surface and temporarily darken into a coffee-grounds appearance before flaking away over several days. This is a normal, expected part of the process that reveals clearer skin underneath.
How long until I see results?+
Many clients notice brightening within days of the first session as spots flake away, with tone and clarity continuing to improve across the series. Results vary depending on your skin and the concerns being treated.
Is there downtime?+
IPL involves little to no true downtime, though you may experience mild redness and visible flaking of spots for a few days. Diligent sun protection is essential while your skin heals between sessions.
