Clearer Skin Starts Here: Advanced Dye-VL IPL Photofacial in Utah
If you’re struggling with sun damage, brown spots, redness, or uneven skin tone, an IPL Photofacial is one of the most effective treatments available. At Aspen Aesthetics in Spanish Fork, Utah, we use advanced Dye-VL IPL technology designed to more precisely target pigment and redness for brighter, clearer, healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.
Our IPL treatments safely and effectively correct discoloration and improve skin clarity — making it a top choice for clients wanting noticeable results without aggressive lasers or long recovery.
What Is an IPL Photofacial?
An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial uses controlled pulses of light to break up unwanted pigment, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen. Dye-VL technology, a more selective and refined form of IPL, allows for even better targeting of sun spots and vascular concerns while keeping surrounding skin protected.
What IPL Treats
Our IPL Photofacial is ideal for improving:
- Sunspots / sun damage
- Age spots & brown patches

Benefits of IPL Photofacial
- Brightens and evens overall skin tone
- Fades sun damage and stubborn discoloration
- Reduces redness, flushing, and capillaries
- Boosts collagen for smoother, healthier-looking skin
- Minimal downtime
- Quick sessions (20–30 minutes)

Why Our Dye-VL IPL Technology Is Different
Dye-VL uses a narrow, more precise wavelength range compared to traditional IPL. This means:
- More effective treatment for redness and vascular issues
- Better clearing of pigmentation
- Gentler on surrounding tissue
- Consistent, predictable results
- A safer and more comfortable treatment experience
This is the technology dermatology clinics prefer when they want a corrective, medical-grade light treatment.
