Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) in Lafayette, LA

At The Aesthetic Boutique, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is offered as a safe, non-surgical treatment to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. With little to no downtime, IPL is designed to reverse visible signs of damage, also known as photoaging, which commonly occurs after years of sun exposure. The face, neck, chest, and hands are among the most popular areas treated.

Skin Concerns IPL Can Improve
Clients often choose IPL to address a variety of skin conditions, including:

• Acne and post-acne marks

• Birthmarks

• Hyperpigmentation and melasma

• Rosacea and facial redness

• Scars

• Spider veins and broken capillaries

• Stretch marks

• Sun-damaged skin

• Fine lines and wrinkles

Treatment Expectations

Most clients require a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions depends on the severity of skin concerns and the treatment area. Because aging and sun exposure are ongoing processes, maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6–12 months to preserve results.

Benefits of IPL Therapy

• Noticeable improvement in skin tone and clarity

• Reduction in redness, pigmentation, and sunspots

• Stimulated collagen production for firmer, smoother skin

• Safe, effective, and non-invasive procedure

• Minimal downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities quickly

Risks and Considerations

IPL is FDA-cleared and safe when performed by trained medical professionals. Temporary side effects may include mild redness, sensitivity, or swelling, which typically resolve within a few hours to days. In rare cases, blistering, pigment changes, or scabbing can occur, particularly in clients with higher Fitzpatrick skin types. Proper pre- and post-treatment care instructions are provided to ensure the safest and most effective outcome.

Is IPL Right for You?

IPL is best suited for clients with lighter skin tones who want to restore a brighter, more youthful complexion and address multiple skin concerns in one treatment. During your private consultation at The Aesthetic Boutique, we will determine whether IPL or another treatment is best aligned with your skin type, goals, and lifestyle.
