At Rejuvenate MedSpa and SkinLab Denver, we perform photofacial treatments using the Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL) intense pulsed light (IPL) device for people from Denver, Colorado Springs, Golden, CO, and surrounding areas. IPL photofacials significantly reverse damage to the skin caused by sun exposure and can improve the appearance of your face, hands, and other areas of the body.
BBL is just one of the facial rejuvenation treatments offered at Rejuvenate MedSpa and SkinLab Denver. You can also combine nonsurgical treatments with facial plastic surgery if desired.

How Do Sciton BBL Treatments Work?
BBL delivers pulses of intense light to treatment areas, destroying vascular and pigmented lesions. Each light spectrum band used during BBL treatment has a wavelength that is ideal for treating different concerns, such as sun spots and prominent blood vessels. The light emitted by IPL is absorbed by the pigment in sun spots and blood in visible vessels, reducing their appearance. A series of 3 to 5 treatments every 4 weeks yields the best result.
How Is an IPL Treatment Done?
Patients put on eyewear to protect their eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently placed on the skin and delivers light pulses to the skin through the glass. Patients may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band on their skin. Treatments are generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results with minimal side effects. Each treatment takes anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the area being treated.
How Many IPL Treatments Are Needed?
The number of treatments depends on the number of conditions you are treating and the severity of your individual problem. An average of 3 to 6 treatments may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all of your regular activities. By dividing the program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk and “no downtime.” Most people appreciate this approach. However, there are options for a more aggressive application if needed.
A Reputation Built on Results
How Does IPL Compare With Oher Treatments?
There are separate lasers that treat telangiectasia, broken capillaries, and benign brown pigments, and there are others that are used for resurfacing facial skin such as our HALO® hybrid and Sciton Contour TRL® fractional lasers. The Sciton BBL is the most powerful IPL treatment, providing long-term improvement of the complexion and texture without the slightest interruption in your busy lifestyle.
What Conditions Can Be Treated With IPL?
Skin imperfections or abnormalities can detract from your appearance and make you look older and less healthy. IPL technology helps create smoother-looking skin. After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction in signs of sun damage and aging, including:
- Excess pigmentation
- Tiny blood vessels (capillaries)
- Fine lines
- Age spots, freckles, and sun spots
- Rosacea
- Flushing
- Blotchy-looking skin
BBL does not harm the surface of the skin and is safe for the neck, chest, arms, and hands. It is also used on the back and abdomen for age spots and hemangiomas.
Some patients choose to combine BBL with other treatments like laser hair removal or vein treatments in order to treat a wider range of conditions. If you are interested in undergoing multiple treatments, speak with one of our surgeons to discuss your options.

How Much Does IPL Cost in Denver?
The size and number of areas to be treated are decided upon in a consultation. Some patients are not eligible for this treatment; therefore, a complete medical history is taken and skin type is ascertained. There are certain medications and topical products that must be avoided when undergoing IPL treatment. IPL is contraindicated for dark skin. Once eligibility has been established, we can give you an estimate for the cost of each treatment or series of treatments.
How Do I Prepare for IPL Treatments?
Your skin must be free from irritation and as close to its natural shade as possible prior to each treatment. Failure to follow these guidelines can result in unwanted striping of the skin or burns.
Prepare for each IPL treatment by following these precautions:
- 3 to 4 days: Discontinue the use of all topical exfoliating agents such as retinol, glycolic and salicylic acids.
- 1 week: Avoid microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and BOTOX® Cosmetic.
- 2 weeks: Discontinue self-tanning products.
- 4 to 6 weeks: Allow your skin to return to its natural shade by avoiding sun exposure.
You must protect your skin from the sun throughout the entire duration of the initial treatments and approximately 4 weeks after the final treatment in the series. Wear an SPF 30 or greater daily protection and a hat for extended exposure. We carry SkinCeuticals sunscreen products for all skin types available at Rejuvenate MedSpa and SkinLab Denver.
