What is IPL?
Does sun damage or uneven skin tone leave you longing for a brighter complexion? At Clarity Skin in Draper, UT, we offer IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy using the advanced Candela Nordlys® system. An IPL photofacial is a noninvasive treatment suitable for adult men and women struggling with hyperpigmentation on the face and neck. During the procedure, our team applies gentle pulses of light from the Candela Nordlys system. This light heats the skin just enough to trigger your body's natural healing process, boosting collagen production. As these added nutrients take effect, you'll gradually see a healthier, more even-toned complexion with reduced hyperpigmentation.
How Does IPL Work?
Our IPL photofacial utilizes the advanced Candela Nordlys system and can be completed comfortably within 20 – 30 minutes at our Draper, UT office. Before the treatment, a technician will cleanse and dry your targeted skin area and provide protective eyewear. During the procedure, they'll use the handheld Nordlys device to deliver gentle pulses of light across your skin. While some patients experience mild discomfort, the treatment's brevity usually makes it well-tolerated.
What are the Benefits of IPL?
IPL photofacials are popular at Clarity Skin for their rejuvenating benefits. A handful of the benefits that our Draper, UT individuals gain from their IPL facials are:
- Smoother skin tone and feel
- Neutralizing of uneven pigment and age spots
- Soothing, spa-like treatment that supports total skin wellness
- Refreshed, transformed skin look
Clarity Skin Reviews
I drive past at least 4 other med spas on my way here, but will always come here because of how friendly they are! Everyone on staff makes you feel so comfortable, they are so informative & do a wonderful job. Mitch & Dana often give samples of products they recommend. Love the injectors as well as the estheticians- I have had several spa procedures done & always leave more educated than the last.
Heidi is AMAZING! Lymphatic Messages she gave me left me revitalized. I looked forward to seeing her and she helped me tremendously. If you need a lymphatic message I highly HIGHLY recommend her! She knows what she is doing! <3
Clarity skin is my “go to” for all my skin care needs. They have helped my skin keep a youthful glow for several years. They are kind, and very gentle. Some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Not only are they nice, but they are extremely knowledgeable and up to date on the best practices and procedures for skin care and anti aging. I highly recommend Clarity! 🏻
I’ve only had great experiences with Clarity Skin. I’ve even had them fix mistakes from a different provider. Working with them to fix a mistake from another provider really cemented in my trust. I’ve gotten filler and Botox, both of which can have nasty consequences to get wrong, so trust is a big big deal. I’ve seen both Brooke and Michelle and would recommend either to anyone. I’ll also mention that I care a lot about looking super natural and getting the kind and amount of injectables that absolutely no one would guess I have. If that is also what you’re looking for, I’d definitely recommend Clarity Skin.
Everyone at Clarity Skin is amazing and sweet. Brooke did my lip filler, flip and Botox. She’s so fun and makes the experience so easy. I didn’t experience any pain and only had small bruising and some swelling from the filler. The results are amazing! It’s really been a moment. I would recommend anyone and everyone, even if you just want a consult to see what your options are, to visit Clarity Skin if you’re looking for some pampering. They’re a diamond in the rough. I felt so at home during the entire process and can’t wait to go back 😊

Frequently Asked Questions
How quick are the results from IPL?
Improvements can be seen following your treatment, but the best results are visible about one month after a full series of treatments is completed. It's common for you to get varying results after every treatment session. Over time, you will notice fading of blotchiness, redness, and spots (age, brown, and sun).
What are the possible side effects of IPL?
Most patients have mild, temporary side effects, like redness, swelling, crusting, bruising, or superficial blisters. This should subside in a few days. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun, and you should keep in mind that damaging UV rays can negatively affect your results. Whenever you go outside, you should always wear sunscreen to protect your skin and prevent issues like spots and redness.
Do I need to prep for IPL?
Before getting IPL, patients are asked to skip self-tanners and excessive sun for about 2 – 4 weeks before their treatment. You may be asked to discontinue the use of minocycline, tetracycline, doxycycline or Retin-A/Renova a few days before each appointment, and you may want to start taking aspirin or ibuprofen for 5 – 7 days before your appointment to help prevent bruising. You should also use sunscreen since your skin will be extra sensitive.
