Can IPL Be Done on the Neck, Chest, and Hands? Not Just the Face
Many people think of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) as a face-only treatment — a way to brighten complexion, fade sun spots, and reduce redness. But sun exposure does not stop at the jawline, and neither should skin rejuvenation. The neck, chest, and hands often show signs of aging even earlier than the face, making them key areas to treat if you want a truly youthful, even appearance.
What Happens During an IPL Treatment? A Step-by-Step Breakdown
If you are new to IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, it is normal to feel curious — and even a little unsure — about what to expect. The good news is IPL is one of the most comfortable and efficient skin treatments available, and the experience is designed to feel smooth, controlled, and reassuring from start to finish.
IPL vs. Chemical Peels — Which Is Better for Discoloration?
When it comes to treating discoloration, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, two of the most popular options are chemical peels and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. Both aim to brighten and even out your complexion — but they work in very different ways.
Is IPL Safe for Melasma — or Can It Make It Worse?
If you have melasma and have been researching treatments, you’ve probably seen mixed opinions about IPL. Some people say it helped lighten their pigmentation, and others say it made it darker.

IPL for Rosacea and Redness — Why Prescription Creams Aren’t Enough
Persistent facial redness, easy flushing, and visible tiny blood vessels can feel frustrating and difficult to control. Many people try soothing creams, prescription gels, or drugstore anti-redness products, yet still feel like the redness always comes back. That is because rosacea is not only a surface-level condition. It has a vascular component — and topical products alone cannot treat the blood vessels causing the redness.
Can IPL Fix Sun Damage Permanently? The Honest Answer
If you are noticing new freckles, brown spots, or redness after years in the sun, you are not alone. Sun damage is one of the most common concerns we treat at Core Aesthetic, and IPL is one of the most effective ways to reverse it. But is it permanent? Let’s break it down clearly and realistically.

The best choice depends on your skin goals, whether that’s improving texture, evening tone, tightening, or lifting.
Can I Combine CoolPeel With Botox, Exosomes, or PRF?
If you’re serious about achieving radiant, youthful, and healthy-looking skin, combining treatments—often called “stacking”—is one of the most effective ways to maximize your results. Many patients ask us if it’s safe to pair CoolPeel® CO₂ laser treatments with Botox, Exosomes, or PRF, and the answer is a confident yes — when performed strategically by experienced providers.

CoolPeel for Acne Scars — How Many Sessions?
If you’ve tried countless creams or peels for acne scars but still see uneven skin, CoolPeel may be the breakthrough your skin has been waiting for. This advanced fractionated CO2 laser helps smooth rough texture, fade old scars, and rebuild healthy collagen from within.
Is CoolPeel Safe for Darker Skin Types?

CoolPeel vs. Traditional CO2 Laser — Same Results, No Downtime?
If you’ve been looking for smoother, more radiant skin but dread the downtime of traditional laser treatments, CoolPeel might be your new favorite upgrade. It promises the same rejuvenating benefits as a CO2 laser without the redness, peeling, and recovery time that used to come with it.
