What is IPL photorejuvenation?
IPL photorejuvenation is a non-invasive aesthetic medicine treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to improve overall skin quality.
It targets dark spots, redness, enlarged pores and dull tone while stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is brighter, more even, firmer and rejuvenated skin, without surgery and with minimal recovery.
Types of photorejuvenation
IPL for dark spots and uneven tone
Indicated for removing sun spots, lentigines and pigmentation, evening out skin tone and restoring radiance.
Vascular IPL (redness and capillaries)
Targets redness, couperose and small visible vessels, improving the appearance of sensitive skin or skin with rosacea.
IPL for overall rejuvenation
Stimulates collagen and elastin to improve texture, firmness, pores and the overall appearance of the skin, with a gradual rejuvenating effect.
What does IPL involve?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment involves the controlled application of light pulses to the skin to improve its quality in an overall, gradual way.
The light penetrates the superficial and middle layers of the skin, targeting dark spots, redness, enlarged pores and uneven tone, while stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin.
The result is brighter, more even, firmer and rejuvenated skin, without surgery, with minimal discomfort and no time off work.
Personalized medical assessment
Before treatment, you have a consultation with the specialist physician who will perform it, in which your face, skin quality and aesthetic goals are assessed in order to design a fully personalized plan. This consultation costs €50, deductible from your first treatment.
Skin ultrasound with NESAI
When the doctor considers it necessary, a NESAI Derm ultrasound is performed in Barcelona to assess the skin before treating: dermis thickness, density, collagen, fibers and sun damage.
Preparing for the treatment
Before IPL photorejuvenation, a personalized medical consultation is carried out to analyze the condition of your skin and define the most suitable protocol.
Treatment in the clinic
It is performed in the doctor's office on an outpatient basis. Controlled pulses of light are applied to the skin, always protecting the eyes and adjusting the settings to your skin type and the goal of the treatment. A session usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes and is well tolerated.
Start seeing yourself the way you want to feel
After treatment, the skin looks brighter and more even. Over the following weeks and sessions, you will see a gradual improvement in tone, texture, dark spots and redness.

How much does photorejuvenation treatment cost?
290 €
IPL photorejuvenation treatment at Instituto de Benito starts from €290 per session and can be adjusted to each patient's individual needs.
As a personalized medical-aesthetic treatment, the final cost will depend on several factors, such as:
- The area or areas to be treated (full face, neck, décolletage, etc.)
- The condition and characteristics of the skin
- The number of sessions recommended to achieve the desired goals
- Combination with other complementary treatments, where appropriate
Each plan is designed after an individual medical consultation, in which the specialist determines the most suitable regimen to optimize results and ensure safety.
The aim is to offer a clearly explained quote tailored to your needs, geared toward achieving brighter, more even and rejuvenated skin in a gradual, natural way.
Are you a good candidate for photorejuvenation treatment?
IPL photorejuvenation is indicated for people who want to improve their overall skin quality, correct skin imperfections and restore radiance to the face without resorting to invasive procedures.
It is a treatment designed to even out tone, improve texture and rejuvenate the skin gradually and naturally, respecting each person's expression and anatomy.
It is especially recommended if:
- 01
Dull tone and lack of radiance
When the skin looks tired or lifeless, IPL helps reactivate its natural radiance and improve the overall appearance of the face.
- 02
Sun spots or uneven pigmentation
Ideal for treating dark spots caused by the sun, age or the passage of time, gradually evening out skin tone.
- 03
Redness and small visible capillaries
IPL targets redness, couperose or dilated capillaries, improving the appearance of sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
- 04
Enlarged pores and uneven texture
Helps refine skin texture, improve the appearance of pores and achieve smoother, more even skin.
- 05
First signs of aging
Recommended for treating fine lines and early loss of firmness, stimulating collagen and elastin naturally.
- 06
You are looking for a non-invasive treatment with no time off work
Perfect if you want to improve your skin without surgery, with quick sessions and an immediate return to your daily routine.

Frequently asked questions about IPL photorejuvenation
What results can I expect?
Brighter, more even and rejuvenated skin. IPL gradually improves tone, texture, dark spots and redness. Results can be seen from the first few weeks and are optimized once the recommended protocol is completed.
Is IPL treatment painful?
It is a well-tolerated treatment. You may feel a slight sensation of heat or small pinpricks during the session, which disappear quickly. It does not usually require anesthesia.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition of the skin and the goals of the treatment. Between 3 and 5 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, are usually recommended.
What are the risks of IPL photorejuvenation?
IPL is a safe treatment when performed by specialized doctors using suitable technology. As with any medical-aesthetic procedure, there may be mild, temporary effects.
Most common effects (generally mild):
- Temporary redness or sensation of heat
- Temporary darkening of dark spots before they fade
- Slight swelling in sensitive skin
What are the rare complications?
- Small superficial scabs
- Temporary changes in pigmentation, minimized with correct medical indication and sun protection
Can I get back to normal life after the treatment?
Yes. You can return to daily life immediately. We only recommend avoiding direct sun and using high-factor sun protection over the following days.
When can I sunbathe or go to the beach after IPL?
We advise avoiding direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after each session and using high-factor sun protection to protect the skin and optimize results.
Can IPL be combined with other treatments?
Yes. IPL photorejuvenation can be combined with other aesthetic medicine treatments, such as polynucleotides, mesotherapy, peels or firming treatments, always subject to medical assessment.
How long do IPL results last?
Results are gradual and long-lasting, especially if you have maintenance sessions and follow good skincare and sun protection habits.
