Healthy, glowing skin doesn’t have to be complicated. At Cary Care Esthetics in Cary, NC, Intense Pulse Light (IPL) therapy is a favorite for those looking to refresh their appearance with minimal downtime. This light-based treatment gently targets sun spots, uneven tone, and redness—leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more balanced over time. Add in the regenerative power of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), and the results go deeper than the surface. If your skin could use a little boost, IPL might just be the perfect addition to your skincare routine.
What Is IPL Therapy?
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light, a non-invasive treatment that uses quick flashes of light to treat a variety of skin concerns. It’s not a laser, but it works in a similar way—penetrating the skin to help reduce pigmentation, redness, and even acne.
At Cary Care Esthetics, IPL is more than a cosmetic treatment. It’s part of a natural, holistic approach to skin regeneration. Combined with PRF—your body’s own healing platelets—the results become even more powerful. IPL can reduce visible signs of aging while PRF helps support collagen production, elasticity, and overall skin health from within.
What Can IPL Help With?
IPL is a flexible treatment. It can be tailored to different skin types and goals, making it a go-to for many people in the Cary area. Whether you’re focused on refreshing tired skin or addressing a specific issue, IPL is designed to fit into your lifestyle with minimal interruption.
IPL can help improve:
- Sun spots and pigmentation
- Acne and acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Redness and vascular lesions
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and texture concerns
Perfect before weddings, events, or photoshoots, IPL helps bring out that fresh-faced glow we all want.
The IPL + PRF Advantage
What sets Cary Care Esthetics apart is its thoughtful, regenerative approach. Dr. Charles Ferzli, DDS, brings decades of clinical expertise and a deep understanding of how the body heals. His use of PRF in facial esthetics takes IPL results to the next level by encouraging natural restoration from the inside out.
PRF contains growth factors that stimulate skin collagen and tissue repair. When combined with IPL’s light energy, you get both targeted surface renewal and deep biological support.
Skin looks better—and it continues to improve long after the appointment is over.
IPL for Different Skin Concerns
Brighten Sun-Damaged Skin
Living in North Carolina means we enjoy our fair share of sunshine, but too much can lead to pigmentation, freckles, and sunspots. IPL breaks up that excess pigment gently and safely over a series of treatments.
Even Out Hormonal Skin Changes
Hormonal shifts—whether postpartum or related to age—can leave skin looking uneven or dull. IPL helps target those darker patches and redness without aggressive chemicals or harsh downtime.
Support Acne-Prone Skin
For those dealing with active acne or leftover scarring, IPL can calm inflammation and fade marks. It’s often combined with microneedling with PRF or the Preime DermaFacial for smoother texture.
What to Expect During IPL Treatment
Appointments are quick and easy, usually around 30–45 minutes. You’ll feel brief snaps of light on the skin—similar to a rubber band. There may be some redness or warmth afterward, but most people go back to their usual routine the same day.
Improvements build with each session. Skin looks more even-toned, smoother, and brighter. Some concerns, like pigmentation or veins, may fade after just one or two visits.
