Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore a personalized IPL therapy plan.

What Is IPL Therapy?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment and blood vessels beneath the skin. The light energy is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down discoloration and reducing redness.

Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat a variety of concerns in one session. At SOMA, IPL is used to improve overall skin clarity while maintaining a gentle, non-invasive approach.

“I've had two different procedures done with Dr Rogers, one in 2008 and one in 2013. I have been thrilled with the end result for both procedures! Dr Rogers is so detailed when it comes to his work; his professionalism and genuine care for patients are shown in every part of the process. His staff is very caring, supportive, and available to answer questions about anything when needed. I am so happy I chose him for all of my cosmetic needs. I get compliments all the time, and I love it!!!”

IPL Therapy Recovery

Recovery after IPL Therapy is minimal, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately. In the initial phase, mild redness or slight swelling may occur. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Pigmented areas may darken slightly before flaking away as the skin renews itself.

Gradual Results

Results develop over a series of treatments as pigmentation fades and skin tone becomes more even. SOMA emphasizes consistency and follow-up care to ensure optimal outcomes.
