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 recently had a hydro facial with an exceptional aesthetician named Dana, and it was truly a delightful experience. The soothing ambiance instantly put me at ease, and Dana was attentive and knowledgeable. She tailored the treatment to my skin's needs, executing each step with precision—from the cleansing to the nourishing masks.Her attention to detail left my skin glowing and revitalized, and she provided helpful recommendations for my skincare routine. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed, and I highly recommend Dana for anyone seeking a thorough and rejuvenating hydro facial experience!I have also received several lymph drainage massage with Candice, and they have been a wonderful experience. She is incredibly professional and sweet, making me feel comfortable right from the start. Her gentle touch was truly soothing, and I can already see a difference. The room was clean and had a lovely atmosphere, contributing to a very relaxing experience. I highly recommend Candice.I can honestly say that any services I have received at Clarity have all been top-notch. Michelle’s injections are always on point, and the front desk staff is both professional and friendly. They truly represent the face of the business; if you don’t connect with the people at the front desk, you’re unlikely to return. I’m impressed with their entire team and highly recommend their services!
Mitch is the best!!

Am I A Candidate for IPL?
An IPL photofacial targets the deeper layers of your skin to address various complexion issues, particularly sunspots and brown lesions, with minimal or no recovery time required. Candidates for IPL treatments at Clarity Skin may experience a range of skin concerns, including sun damage, rosacea, brown spots (hyperpigmentation), rough texture, enlarged pores, facial flushing, melasma, age spots, and broken capillaries. Our team will evaluate your skin during a private consultation to determine if IPL is a suitable option for you.
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.
