At Treasure Valley Aesthetics & Wellness, our team understands how frustrating it can be to struggle with hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Led by Dr. Brenna Butler, DNP—a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of clinical experience and advanced Endocrinology training—our Boise practice offers intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacials as a proven, non-invasive solution for skin rejuvenation. Using the advanced Harmony XL PRO technology from Alma Lasers, we deliver precise wavelengths of light energy to target pigmentation concerns on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
IPL photofacial treatments work by stimulating your skin’s natural regeneration process and boosting collagen production. Over time, you’ll notice a healthier complexion, a more even tone, and visibly decreased spots. While IPL is non-invasive, it delivers powerful, lasting results that address the root causes of skin discoloration—not just the surface symptoms. For patients undergoing hormone therapy, IPL can also be an effective complement to Hormone Replacement Therapy, enhancing skin texture and tone from the inside out.

IPL FAQ’S
Your complexion issues are unique, which means the cost of IPL treatments will depend on your specific condition. Treasure Valley Aesthetics & Wellness may offer special deals at times, and we take an array of payment options. At your aesthetic visit, your technician can help estimate your cost and discuss the number of visits required to maximize your results.
Improvements can generally be noticed following each Harmony XL PRO IPL therapy session, but final results are apparent a month after a full series of treatments is completed. It is common for patients to respond differently to every treatment session. You will most likely have an incremental improvement in redness, blotchiness, sun spots, and age spots as time goes on.
Most women and men experience some minor, temporary side effects, such as swelling, redness, crusting, bruising, or blisters. However, this should fade in a few days. The treated areas will be sun-sensitive, and you should keep in mind that sun exposure will impact your results. You should also wear sunscreen to protect your skin and help prevent skin problems, including sun spots and redness.
In preparation for IPL therapy, Meridian, ID patients are asked to avoid self-tanners and sun exposure for 2 – 4 weeks before their treatment. You might need to stop using certain medications a few days before your procedure, and we may recommend that you avoid taking blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications a week before the procedure to decrease your risk of developing bruises. You also need to protect the treated areas with sunscreen between sessions.
A full series of IPL photorejuvenation is recommended to produce natural-looking enhancements in the quality of your complexion. Each session helps to diminish areas of hyperpigmentation and sun spots. Multiple sessions also allow for longer-lasting aesthetic improvements.
