IPL Photofacial™ — Aliso Viejo
One of the safest, most effective non-surgical treatments for sun damage, discolored skin, rosacea and signs of aging — with no downtime and immediate results.
Growing up in Southern California, countless days in the sun, at the beach or by the pool may have seemed harmless at the time — but years of sun exposure leave their mark. If your once rosy glow has been replaced by premature wrinkles, brown spots, broken vessels or rosacea, it’s time to talk to the skin care experts at Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery about IPL Photofacials™ — one of the safest, most effective non-surgical remedies for sun damage and discolored skin.
Commonly known as a photofacial or photorejuvenation, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is an advanced technology that uses laser energy to safely treat hyperpigmentation on your face, neck, shoulders or chest. Similar to chemical peels, IPL treatments help rebuild the layers of your skin by stimulating collagen growth and promoting better circulation — tightening and smoothing your complexion.
We welcome patients from Aliso Viejo, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo and nearby communities throughout Orange County.
Uses broad-spectrum light energy to safely target red and brown spots, enlarged pores and mild acne scars.
No recovery period required — resume all normal activities immediately after this quick in-office procedure.
Results are noticeable almost immediately, with treated spots fading and fresh skin revealed within days.

A cooling gel and anesthetic cream are applied to your skin to enhance results and ensure your comfort. A broad spectrum of light is then directed to your problem areas — the calibrated laser seeks out red and brown spots, enlarged pores and mild acne scars, gently drawing discolored cells to the surface.
The treated skin painlessly exfoliates within a few days — making your spots disappear and revealing fresh, evenly toned skin beneath. There’s no downtime associated with this in-office procedure, which takes only a few minutes from start to finish. Results are noticeable almost immediately, but depending on your skin type and the extent of hyperpigmentation, most patients require two or three IPL sessions to achieve their desired look.
IPL Photofacial pairs beautifully with PRP Dermal Needling or Chemical Peel treatments for a comprehensive, multi-layered skin rejuvenation approach — ask Dr. Robinson about a personalized combination plan.

IPL Photofacial is one of the most versatile and effective non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments available — particularly well-suited for patients addressing the visible consequences of years of sun exposure, without surgery, chemicals or recovery time.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, IPL does not remove skin layers — it works beneath the surface to stimulate your body’s own collagen production and target specific discolored cells, leaving surrounding tissue completely unaffected. The result is cleaner, brighter, more evenly toned skin that looks completely natural. All IPL treatments are performed by experienced, board-certified aesthetic professionals under Dr. Robinson’s supervision.
IPL requires no downtime and very little aftercare. A few simple steps help maximize your results and protect your newly treated skin.
