AESTHETICS · LASER & LIGHT THERAPY

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

IPL uses broad-spectrum light to fade sun damage, calm redness, and even out tone, performed by our board-certified dermatology team with little to no downtime.

Find Your Location
Aesthetics - IPL

What Does IPL Treat?

IPL delivers pulses of light that target pigment and redness beneath the skin's surface, fading sun spots, calming visible blood vessels, and evening out overall tone. Unlike a single-wavelength laser, IPL uses a broader range of light, which allows it to treat several signs of sun damage and rosacea-related redness in one session.

IPL works best for patients with lighter to medium skin tones, since darker skin carries more risk of an uneven response. Our team will assess your skin during your consultation to confirm whether IPL is the right fit or recommend an alternative treatment.

Goals Addressed
Fade the look of sun spots and pigmentation
Calm redness and visible blood vessels
Even out skin tone and improve clarity
Support smoother, more refined texture
Pairs Well With
Chemical Peels
Adds another layer of exfoliation that enhances IPL's pigment-clearing results
Microneedling
Can be sequenced in afterward to continue building collagen and refining texture
Medical-Grade Skincare
Protects your results with proper sun care, which is essential after IPL
WHAT TO EXPECT

What Happens at Your Appointment?

IPL sessions are quick with little to no downtime, though your skin will go through a short visible healing process as it clears pigment and redness.

1

Consultation

Your provider evaluates your skin tone and concerns to confirm you're a good candidate for IPL and builds a plan around your goals.
2

Treatment

Your provider applies a handheld device that delivers pulses of light to the treatment area. Most patients feel a warm, snapping sensation, and sessions typically take 20 to 30 minutes.
3

You're Done

You can return to most normal activities right away, though sun protection is essential in the days that follow.

Your Experience With IPL

IPL works gradually as your skin clears treated pigment and calms redness, so visible results build over the days following your session rather than appearing right away. Many patients benefit most from a series of treatments, typically spaced about four weeks apart, to fully address sun damage and redness over time.

Timeline at a Glance

Days 1–2
Skin may appear mildly red or swollen, and treated pigment often looks temporarily darker.
Days 3-5
Darkened spots begin to flake and shed as your skin naturally exfoliates.
Days 7-10
Skin tone appears more even and brighter as healing completes.
Weeks 3–4
Continued improvement builds with each session in your treatment series.

I am a physician and I have been going to see Dr. Bill Kras for at least five years. This practice is very strong in melanoma prevention. Under leadership of well known Dr. Vasiloudes, they are aggressive about removing potentially dysplastic nevi. This is important to me because my father died of melanoma. I was shocked to learn that Dr. Kras has only been in the Derm space for eight years, because he seems so experienced. He is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the field. He often speaks of things he has learned from his colleagues in the practice such as Dr. V and dermatopathologists. He is smart, thoughtful, and kind.

I have had a series of needs for Mho’s procedures on the top of my head and arms. Being the person I am, I’m always asking questions. I want to know detail. The difference with this company / office in Newnan Georgia is that they take the time to answer. Polite and with understanding . Of course, the procedures are done with top notch medical care and concern for my comfort ( in my case pain management due location). I understand the company has offices in many parts of the United States and if they are anything like the Newnan staff, I would say unequivocally……. go knock on their door. Thomas S. Drolet

As a woman with darker skin, I always believed laser treatments were not a safe or effective option for me. Sharnel Reed recommended the CoolPeel treatment, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded all of my expectations. My results have been amazing, and I feel so much more confident in my skin. From the moment the procedure started, Sharnel made me feel completely comfortable. She thoroughly explained the entire process, walked me through aftercare, and remained attentive the entire time to ensure I was doing well. Her professionalism, knowledge, and care truly stood out. What surprised me most was how comfortable the treatment was — I barely felt anything at all. I’m so grateful for such a positive experience and highly recommend Sharnel Reed to anyone considering CoolPeel, especially those with darker skin tones who may be hesitant about laser treatments. She truly made me feel safe, informed, and cared for every step of the way.

I think the doctor and both nurses who completed my small fiber neuropathy biopsy deserve some sort of award for how absolutely beautifully they did. I am decently medically complex and had a biopsy that some dermatologist never even do. She even made me aware she’s never done a SFN biopsy before but is going to do everything by the instructions that the kits company provided and took every single step very very importantly. They worked as a well oiled machine and made my experience a lot more comfortable given how nervous I felt. Absolutely 10/10 experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better appointment

I feel like i won the lottery when Dr. Christopher Dolan ended up being my skin cancer surgeon. I was very apprehensive about having any surgery, as this is only the second time in my long life to have had to have surgery. In talking to an old boss of mine, who also had skin cancer removed from his face, and the pain he related associated with its removal, as well as his dissatisfaction with the aesthetic outcome, made me very nervous. But the nurses who assisted in prepping me for my surgery were wonderful, always inquiring whether i was experiencing any pain, and working to ensure that i wouldn't feel any during my surgery were spot on great. Dr. Dolan, as others have mentioned for them as well, called me the following day, to inquire whether i had any questions or concerns, was further reinforcement of my belief that Dr. Dolan and his staff are the best of the best, and that i am blessed to have had them treat me.

Today was my first appointment with this team after nearly two decades since I last saw a dermatologist. From the online booking to the in-office check-in and consultation, my entire experience was great and efficient. Within five minutes of checking in, I was back being seen by a doctor and assistant, who listened closely to my concerns, provided a detail explanation of my care plan, and had me out within 10 minutes.

The doctor was phenomenal, inspiring great confidence with his knowledge, attention to detail, and listening skills. He was also quite affable. The office staff were similarly amazing...and very accomodating and attentive. They liked their jobs and working for this office. You could tell. I was very impressed. Medical excellence and a well run office, what more could you want?

Dr Niebyl and his staff were pleasant and professional. Dr Niebyl was attentive to what I said and asked. He is "old-school", meaning he actually listens and relies on his training and experience, and orders testing only when warranted. He noticed minor skin issues I hadn't mentioned and recommended OTC treatment. The only downside is that he is a solo practitioner who is nearing retirement age. I wonder who will replace him when that time comes. In the meanwhile, he is MY dermatologist.

Zoe was the ARNP whom I saw at the Academy? She is kind professional considerate courteous. Tells me what she's going to do.. Never hurts me and really cares about me.... Even when she's super busy, she takes her time and make sure she does not miss anything on my body that needs attention.Thank you Zoe..... And the staff there is very sweet. Sometimes i'm very talkative, I guess i'm nervous and they make me feel comfortable, even though I talk a lot, they always seem to know the right things to say I think they know i'm a little anxious...... Madison, who works with Zoe.... Is the most sweetest person there can making sure I know what to do when I get hom.....because of the treatment that was just done......

Today withOUT* anesthesia I had a sub-category of a squamous cell carcinoma removed, pretty small sized. Dr. Zook was more than willing to do it *with NO lidocaine. He used ice 3 times which may have helped (smart), removed it very quickly, it was next to painless for ME--but I've done this before and also had 6 or more teeth drilled without novocaine. He is friendly, cheerful, informative and a precision "cutter" as he got it all first try. I am very happy.

I have been going to Anne Arundel Dermatology for several years now and have always had a great experience. They are very professional. Always on time. Always listen to my concerns and take whatever amount of time is necessary. They do not rush through the appointment, making me feel "like I don't matter." When it comes down to it, going to this doctor's office is a pleasant experience!

Usually medical care these days seem “let’s get them in and out” without real care of the specifics of a Patient. However with Ms. Jamie Wotell, PA her care of patients is noticeably different making sure she has met their needs. Her concerns are genuine. I Love her caring demeanor. In addition, she Knows the treatment needed to make you feel better and that’s the reason I have gone repeatedly to her for medical assistance. I have also recommended her to family and friends.

Yesterday (6/18/24) i was treated by Aubrey and had a great time. I've been a client for almost 15 years, for a pretty wide variety of services, and it's always been an excellent experience. Despite Dr. McDaniel's own retirement, I appreciate the PA's and nurse's medical expertise in diagnosis: I fully trust Tania's and Kelly's competence in performing procedures. Aubrey did a great job, very professional and caring! It's a beautiful, relaxing place with straight-up medical treatment rooms. And everyone is so kind and friendly--thanks, Jenna, Victoria and Kelli! Just signed up for a weekly series, so I'll be seeing you all summer long. PS, excellent parking situation. The connected garage is free and you don't have to go outside.

I'll always be grateful to him for his quick action that may have saved my life in the long run. His PA - Leah, is so sweet, and she puts me at ease with my concerns.

Your IPL Questions, Answered

Most patients describe IPL as a warm, snapping sensation. It's generally well tolerated without numbing cream, though your provider can discuss options if you're sensitive to discomfort.

IPL works best for lighter to medium skin tones. Darker skin carries more risk of an uneven response, so your provider will confirm whether IPL or an alternative treatment is the safest option for you.

Little to none. You can typically return to your normal activities right away, though sun protection is essential afterward.

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, often spaced about four weeks apart, to fully address sun damage and redness.

Yes. IPL is commonly used to calm the visible redness and blood vessels associated with rosacea.

Yes. Recent tanning or sun exposure can affect your candidacy and results, so your provider will ask about this during your consultation.
