IPL in Danville, CA
What Is IPL?
If you are concerned about how your facial skin looks because of dark spots or sun damage, Elite MD can offer you a skin examination at our Danville, CA office to see if you'll benefit from intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. An IPL photofacial is a rejuvenating skin treatment for adults with hyperpigmentation issues on their neck and face. A photofacial may be a noninvasive procedure; however, it can be highly effective and create excellent results. Plastic surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal sends intense pulses of light that warm the skin cells just enough to ignite the natural healing process and boost collagen production. In time, you should see a healthier layer with a more even tone and fewer dark spots.
How Is IPL Performed?
A photofacial is performed at our Danville, CA office in about 20 – 30 minutes in our minor procedures room if no other treatments are performed. To start the treatment, your technician will clean and dry the skin to be treated before protecting your eyes with covers. The IPL photofacial is performed using a handheld wand that passes over the skin while emitting pulses of light energy. While many patients will feel mild discomfort during the IPL photofacial, it is generally bearable for the quick treatment time.
What Are the Benefits of IPL?
IPL photofacials are sought-after at Elite MD for their transforming qualities. A number of the advantages that our Danville, CA patients enjoy from their IPL facials involve:
- Neutralizing of pigmentation and dark spots
- Soothing, enjoyable procedure that supports overall skin wellness
- Revitalized, transformed skin appearance
- Restored skin tone and texture
IPL Reviews
Dr. Bansal and his entire staff are incredible. I am a male, 75 yr.old, six month post laser liposuction on my stomach, chest and flanks. I am more than satisfied. Dr. Bansel and his administrative assistant, Trisha, made sure I understood the issues and risks of the surgery. He went so far as to contact and speak with my cardiologist. You also get counseled on diet, exercise, etc. Six months down the road he and his staff are still following me. My results are (in my eyes) incredible. If you are considering laser liposuction, I would whole heartedly recommend you get a consult with Dr. Bansel or one of his other physicians.

Since 2013, I have been a patient at Elite MD, undergoing various procedures such as facials, CoolSculpting, laser work, and injections. I have consistently been highly satisfied with their services.Over the past few years, I have noticed a significant change in my face, likely attributed to my advancing age, genetics, and active outdoor lifestyle. Deep wrinkles have developed primarily in my lower face, impacting my desire to attend social events like parties and family gatherings.As an emergency physician, I am constantly wearing a mask so my professional colleagues, nursing staff and support staff have not seen my face since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began. I kept my face covered because it was part of my job, but also I was hiding behind the mask. The severity of my wrinkles prompted me to seek a surgical intervention.I initially consulted with my aesthetician, Linda Aragon, who is not only an exceptional professional but also my cousin. I trust her implicitly. She recommended booking a consultation with Dr. David Hendricks, a plastic surgeon who joined Dr. Vivek Bansal’s practice a few years ago. Initially, I was hesitant to undergo a facelift, but after meeting with Dr. Hendricks and discussing the matter with Dr. Bansal, I realized this was the appropriate course of action.During our consultation, Dr. Hendricks provided a comprehensive overview of the procedure. A few days later, I underwent the deep plane facelift, and I am immensely pleased with the outcome. It exceeded my expectations.As a physician, I can attest to Dr. Hendricks’ exceptional bedside manner, expertise, artistry and the exceptional aftercare and front office services provided by Elite MD. They offered me a direct phone number for any questions or concerns on the first day of post-operative care.I have already had three follow-up appointments, not due to any issues or concerns, but as part of their patient-centered approach. My recovery has been surprisingly smooth. Linda Aragon personally takes care of post-operative patients, demonstrating her expertise in scar prevention, reduction, and care.As a result of this experience, I no longer dread attending social events. I can now do so without wearing a mask, which is a significant improvement. I highly recommend Elite MD, Dr Hendricks and Dr Bansal and do so without reservation.

Are IPL photofacials safe?
Yes, IPL photofacials are safe for most people when performed by a professional like Dr. Bansal. The procedure is noninvasive and uses controlled pulses of light to target specific skin concerns without damaging the surrounding tissues. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, there may be minor risks such as temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity.
Will I get natural-looking results from IPL?
Yes, IPL photofacials at Elite MD provide natural-looking results. The treatment stimulates healing and boosts collagen production, resulting in gradual improvements that only get better over time. You’ll notice a more even skin tone, fewer dark spots, and an overall rejuvenated appearance without looking "overdone."
Are IPL results permanent?
IPL results are long-lasting but not necessarily permanent. While IPL can manage your skin concerns, new sun damage or aging may cause issues to reappear over time. Our team in Danville, CA, recommends following a good skincare regimen, using sunscreen daily, and booking maintenance sessions as needed.
