Sunspots, redness, and uneven skin tone can be challenging to conceal with makeup, leaving you feeling self-conscious about your complexion.
While daily skincare helps maintain skin health, it often cannot reverse discoloration or visible sun damage. That’s where Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy can help. This versatile treatment utilizes light energy to reduce pigmentation, redness, and visible signs of aging, leaving your skin brighter, clearer, and more youthful.
At Therahaus Wellness Med Spa in Chicago, IPL treatments are performed with precision and care under the guidance of Dr. Angeline Beltsos, a double board-certified physician. Our focus is on helping you achieve natural-looking results in a safe, welcoming environment.
