Understanding IPL

How CO₂ Laser Resurfacing Works

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial delivers broad-spectrum light energy that penetrates the skin to target unwanted pigmentation and visible blood vessels. The light is absorbed by melanin in brown spots and hemoglobin in red vessels, breaking them down so your body can naturally eliminate them. The result: clearer, more even-toned skin with a youthful glow.

BBL (BroadBand Light) is an advanced form of IPL that delivers more precise energy with enhanced cooling for greater comfort and faster results. At Colorado Skin & Vein, we use the Limelight IPL system—state-of-the-art technology that refreshes dull, uneven skin with minimal to no downtime.

With over 20 years of laser expertise, Dr. Verebelyi and Christina Jordan, FNP, CANS, customize each treatment to your unique skin concerns and goals.

Common Questions

IPL Photofacial FAQ

How does IPL differ from laser treatments?
IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light simultaneously, while lasers emit a single wavelength. This makes IPL ideal for treating multiple concerns at once—sun damage, redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries—in a single session.
BBL (BroadBand Light) is an advanced form of IPL that delivers more precise energy with enhanced cooling for greater comfort and faster results. Both use broad-spectrum light but BBL offers improved technology for superior outcomes.
Most IPL sessions take 20-30 minutes depending on the treatment area. Larger areas like the chest or back may take slightly longer.
Most patients describe IPL as a warm snapping sensation. The handpiece has a cooling system to enhance comfort. No anesthesia is required, and most people tolerate treatment easily.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the severity of pigmentation, redness, and your desired outcome.
There is minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness for 1-2 hours after treatment. Brown spots will darken before flaking off over 5-10 days. You can return to normal activities immediately but must avoid sun exposure.
You’ll notice improvements within 1-2 weeks as pigment sheds and redness fades. Full results develop after your complete treatment series, typically 3-4 months.
Yes. Brown spots darken 2-7 days after treatment as damaged pigment rises to the skin surface. They then flake off naturally, revealing clearer skin underneath.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
