At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, a board-certified physician will perform your IPL treatment in Fort Lauderdale, ensuring your safety throughout the process. Our experienced dermatologists understand the science behind your skin issues, allowing us to treat them at the source.

Rebuild Your Skin With IPL Treatment
Hyperpigmentation can occur due to acne, UV exposure, aging, injuries, and a range of other common skin conditions. Your skin cells produce melanin independently of one another, meaning that while some spots may darken, others may not.
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, our expert dermatologists offer personalized intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments powered by Lumecca technology. This nonsurgical, energy-based treatment restores and evens your skin tone through controlled light waves. Our board-certified physicians, who specialize in skin anatomy, will perform your IPL treatment to ensure your comfort and safety and to maximize your results.
What To Expect
The Process for IPL Treatment
Consultation
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we invite every patient to meet with a board-certified physician to create their unique treatment plan. During your consultation, we’ll openly discuss your concerns, examine your skin, and review your medical history to determine if IPL is your best treatment option. Once we have the information we need, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and help you schedule your treatment sessions.
Treatment
When you arrive for your IPL treatment in Fort Lauderdale, we’ll lead you back to a private treatment room and review exactly what to expect during the process. Once you’re comfortable, your doctor will cleanse your skin, apply a sliding gel, and provide protective eyewear. As we glide the device over your skin, you’ll notice beeping sounds and flashing lights as the laser gently heats the treatment area.
Follow Up
Your skin may appear slightly pink and/or warm for the hours following your treatment. Our dermatologists will provide a cool compress as needed to reduce any discomfort and review your aftercare instructions. Most patients begin to see skin improvements within the following 1 to 3 weeks. Our doctors typically recommend scheduling a series of 3 to 6 IPL treatments to continue building on these positive changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lumecca is a handheld phototherapy device that emits IPL wavelengths deep into your skin tissue. As your damaged skin cells absorb this precise light energy, they dissolve into tiny particles for your body to flush out. This revolutionary technology only targets irregular cells—which are responsible for your skin concerns—leaving healthy cells undamaged.
Immediately after your IPL treatment in Fort Lauderdale, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen. These side effects typically resolve within a few days, as your skin begins to slough off its damaged cells. You may notice scabbing as pigmented areas enter the shedding process. As your skin releases its problematic cells, you’ll notice positive changes to your complexion within 1 to 3 weeks. These improvements should last for 6 to 12 months without maintenance.
