Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy in Grand Junction, CO
Rejuvenate Your Skin with IPL Therapy
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) in Grand Junction, CO, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment offered at Grand Valley Laser Aesthetics. This advanced skin rejuvenation procedure uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin imperfections, including sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and unwanted hair. The IPL device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s surface, breaking down unwanted pigments and stimulating collagen production.
IPL is suitable for individuals with fair to medium skin tones who are looking to improve their skin tone, texture, and clarity without undergoing more invasive procedures. This treatment can be applied to the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas, providing a versatile option for clients seeking a youthful, even complexion. Whether you’re addressing discoloration or looking for long-lasting hair removal, IPL offers a safe and effective solution with minimal discomfort and downtime.
What Is IPL and How Does It Work?
IPL (Intense Pulse Light) therapy delivers targeted light energy to the deeper layers of the skin, where it is absorbed by pigment and blood vessels. This light energy causes the pigmentation or damaged vessels to break down and be absorbed by the body. At the same time, IPL stimulates the natural production of collagen, which improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike laser treatments that use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat a wider range of skin conditions simultaneously.

Most clients begin noticing improvements after the first treatment, with optimal results achieved after a series of sessions tailored to individual skin concerns.
IPL for Sun Damage, Redness & Pigmentation
IPL is especially effective for addressing common skin concerns such as sun damage, redness, and hyperpigmentation. It targets melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, which are responsible for dark spots and red areas, respectively. This makes IPL an excellent choice for individuals struggling with:
- Freckles and age spots are caused by UV exposure
- Broken capillaries and vascular lesions
- Uneven skin tone and textural irregularities
- Hyperpigmentation from acne or hormonal changes
By addressing these issues at their source, IPL helps restore clarity and uniformity to the skin, making it one of the most popular non-invasive treatments for visible sun damage in Grand Junction.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
An IPL session typically takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Before the procedure, a cooling gel is applied to the skin for comfort. During treatment, the IPL device delivers pulses of light to the targeted areas. Patients often describe the sensation as similar to the snap of a rubber band.
After the session, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which generally resolves within a few hours. Dark spots may temporarily darken before flaking off over the next few days, revealing clearer skin underneath. Since IPL is non-invasive, you can return to most daily activities immediately after treatment. However, it is essential to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly to protect your skin and maintain the results.
Appointments are available during the week and by request on evenings and weekends. Consultations are recommended for personalized treatment planning, but no appointment is required for walk-in visits.
