Undo Summer Sun Damage with IPL at Lake Oconee MedSpa
Summer days on the boat and beach, afternoons on the golf course, and long matches on the Pickleball court, they’re what memories are made of in the summer. But while you’ve been enjoying the sunshine, your skin may have been soaking up a little too much of it.
If you're noticing dark spots, uneven tone, or pigmentation that wasn’t there before, it may be time to give your skin a post-summer refresh. Enter: IPL, Intense Pulsed Light therapy.
What Is IPL and How Does It Work?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a non-invasive laser treatment that targets pigmentation in your skin. It works by sending light energy deep into the skin, where it heats and breaks up dark spots caused by sun damage, melasma, or age. The treated pigment then rises to the surface and naturally sloughs off, revealing clearer, more even skin underneath.
It’s like a magic eraser for all those signs of summer you didn’t ask for.
Why Choose IPL After Summer?
After months of sun exposure, even with good sunscreen habits, most people experience a surge in skin discoloration. That’s why early fall is the perfect time to book your IPL treatments. Whether you’ve been boating, golfing, or just enjoying the outdoors, IPL helps reverse the visible effects of UV exposure.
Not only does IPL reduce pigmentation, but it also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and softness over time.
What to Expect
⏱️ Treatments are quick, typically 30 minutes or less.
📆 2 to 3 sessions are recommended for full correction.
💆♀️ There’s minimal downtime, with some redness and darkening of spots as they prepare to flake away.
Bonus: Melasma Relief
If you struggle with melasma, a condition that causes brown patches on the face often worsened by heat and sun, IPL is a gentle yet powerful option to fade it. While it may not be a permanent solution, it can greatly improve tone and boost your confidence.
