IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
Our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) ProLite II technology can address an array of skin issues in a way that is completely non-invasive and non-surgical. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your skin and want to replenish its youthful glow, consider IPL in Albuquerque.
Although the aging of our skin is a complex biological process, there are two main causes: chronological aging — the effect of time on our bodies; and photo-aging — the effect of the sun’s harmful rays.
As we grow older, the amount of collagen, the major supporting protein of the body, diminishes. In addition, the skin becomes less flexible. This means that our skin becomes drier and thinner as the body’s natural regeneration process slows down, and the skin slowly loses its ability to retain moisture. These effects are further compounded by the harmful UVA and UVB rays in sunlight.
IPL laser treatments can effectively treat signs of aging and sun damage, restoring your healthy and vibrant skin.

Which Issues Can IPL Address?
The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) ProLite II erases skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface and simultaneously treats a wide range of facial problems, improving the texture and complexion of the skin. Skin imperfections treated include:
- Red spider veins
- Rosacea
- Brown spots (age spots/liver spots)
- Scar coloration
- Flushing and redness
- Poikiloderma (red neck)
- Pigmented lesions
- Sun spots
Large areas, such as whole faces, hands, necks, shoulders and backs, may be treated.
IPL Treatments
IPL treatments, which typically are provided in a series of sessions at two-week intervals, are virtually painless. Patients can resume normal activities immediately without any recovery time or downtime needed.
To maintain long-lasting improvement, follow-up care may include maintenance sessions. The results are permanent, but skin continues to age with time. A good skin regimen will help slow the appearance of aging skin and sun damage.
Omnilux Phototherapy
AlluraDerm MD Med Spa also offers Omnilux LED phototherapy. This delivers a totally natural method of light-only skin rejuvenation which uses the body’s own natural processes to help counteract the effects of aging. It stimulates cells involved in repair of the skin and increases blood flow.
It also enhances the effectiveness of other skin treatments. It is used after microdermabrasion, facial peels, laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, reducing the side effects and speeding up the time your tissue takes to regenerate.
Omnilux can also be used in combination with your regular facial treatments and with injections and other fillers, helping to maintain the effect of the treatment.
After the course of treatments have finished you will still see an improvement in tone, clarity and skin smoothness. You will also see softening of your fine lines and wrinkles. This is a very effective treatment for both men and women of any age. It is non-invasive and easy to perform.
And of course, Dr. Mancha is the best. I tell everyone about him! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
IPL Cost
The cost of your IPL treatments will depend primarily on the med spa you choose. IPL cost is also impacted by the number of treatment sessions necessary and the exact nature of your skin issues.
