Restore Your Glow and Remove Unwanted Hair with Light-Based Technology

Are you tired of constantly battling unwanted hair, sunspots, redness, or uneven skin tone? At QD Skinnovations in Carson, CA, we offer a solution that’s effective, gentle, and versatile: IPL Therapy. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology harnesses the power of broad-spectrum light to rejuvenate your skin and reduce unwanted hair, leaving you smoother, brighter, and more confident—without surgery or extensive downtime.

Whether your concerns involve pigmentation issues, acne scars, visible capillaries, or unwanted hair, IPL Therapy can help you achieve noticeable improvements safely and comfortably.

What Is IPL Therapy and How Does It Work?

IPL Therapy (Intense Pulsed Light) is an advanced, non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light energy to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Unlike laser treatments, which emit a single wavelength of light, IPL delivers a broader spectrum. This enables it to effectively target different chromophores (pigment and hair follicles) beneath your skin’s surface.

During an IPL session, targeted pulses of light penetrate your skin to:

As your skin naturally sheds the damaged cells and treated hair falls away, you’re left with smoother, clearer, and visibly rejuvenated skin.

Benefits of IPL for Skin Rejuvenation

IPL Therapy is one of the most popular treatments at QD Skinnovations due to its multiple benefits:

Reduces Sun Damage and Pigmentation

Clears sunspots, freckles, and uneven skin tone, revealing a brighter complexion.

Minimizes Redness and Rosacea

Diminishes facial redness, flushing, and broken capillaries for calmer, more even-toned skin.

Improves Acne Scars

Encourages collagen remodeling to smooth texture and minimize the appearance of scarring.

Enhances Skin Texture

Promotes collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother skin with reduced fine lines and pores.

Permanent Hair Reduction with IPL

Unwanted hair is frustrating, costly to remove, and can leave your skin irritated or inflamed. IPL provides a long-term solution by targeting and destroying hair follicles at the root, significantly reducing hair growth. Common treatment areas include:

Face (upper lip, chin, cheeks)

Underarms

Legs

Bikini line

Back or chest

With a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, IPL helps you achieve smooth, hair-free skin without ingrown hairs or daily maintenance.

What to Expect Before, During, and After IPL Therapy

Before Treatment

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at QD Skinnovations. We’ll evaluate your skin type, hair growth patterns, and specific concerns to develop a personalized IPL treatment plan.

During Treatment

The procedure typically lasts between 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated. Most clients describe the sensation as mild snapping or warmth against the skin. Our IPL devices feature built-in cooling technology for maximum comfort.

After Treatment

Your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, immediately after treatment. This typically fades within hours or a day. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before naturally shedding off within one to two weeks. Hair treated will gradually fall out over the next several days to weeks. Regular daily activities can resume immediately, although we advise avoiding direct sun exposure and using SPF consistently.

Results Timeline

Improvements in skin tone and texture are often visible after just one session, with optimal results achieved after 3-5 treatments spaced about four weeks apart. For hair removal, most clients achieve significant reduction after approximately 4-6 sessions.
