Sunspots, age spots, pigmentation, or small facial vessels (telangiectasias) can be a constant reminder that your skin isn’t as clear as it could be. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a solution to unsightly skin afflictions as small light pulses are applied to targeted areas of the skin, encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
In this procedure, an IPL machine will emit gentle pulses of light at carefully sized wavelengths in order to target the desired area. The heat and light generated by these waves is absorbed by broken capillaries, dark pigments, and collagen. These areas then coagulate and the skin is induced to procure new collagen fibers – giving the skin a renewed, youthful appearance.
During your consultation, our skin care team will discuss with you the areas you would like to treat and how IPL can be an effective treatment as part of your skin care goals.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2015 and chose to have a double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. My breast surgeon referred me to Dr. Brown of Bruno Brown Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, and after my first meeting with Dr. Coleman Brown, I knew I didn’t need to look any further! His staff greeted me with smiles and made me feel very comfortable.”
— Theresa R.“I am so grateful that I was recommended Dr. Brown by my Ob/Gyn for my tummy tuck and he was also recommended for facial plastic surgery by one of New York’s most prominent plastic surgeons who I saw in the past when I lived there. Dr. Brown is the most kind, approachable and skilled doctor I’ve ever been under the care of. And I couldn’t be happier with the results.”
— Nicole“I have been a patient of Dr. Bruno’s for several years now. He’s not only a talented surgeon, but he has a very gentle, comforting manner. I broke my nose recently, which would have been extremely traumatic if it weren’t for the calm and confident way he handled the situation. Based on past experience with him, I knew that he was the best person to do the surgery. The surgery was easy and painless and my nose looks great.”
