BEFORE & AFTER
what it feels like
Most clients describe IPL as a quick, warm snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band. Discomfort is brief, and cooling is used throughout treatment to keep you comfortable.
HOW IT WORKS
IPL uses broad-spectrum light to target excess pigment and visible blood vessels in the skin. The light energy is absorbed by these concerns and gently broken down by the body over time, while also stimulating collagen production to improve overall tone and texture.

VI Peel: Why We Are Obsessed With This Cult-Favorite Chemical Peel
The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture—with manageable downtime and powerful collagen stimulation. At Proof Aesthetics in Carlsbad, we customize VI Peel treatments to target breakouts, melasma, scarring, and dull skin for visibly smoother, brighter results. Most clients see best outcomes with a series of treatments, making it a favorite for long-term skin rejuvenation in North County San Diego.
PDGF: The Regenerative Growth Factor Changing Skin Rejuvenation
Regenerative skin care is no longer a trend—it’s the future of aesthetic medicine. At Proof Aesthetics in Carlsbad, we use PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) to stimulate your skin’s natural repair process, enhancing collagen production, improving texture, and accelerating healing after treatments like microneedling and laser resurfacing. Instead of simply resurfacing the skin, PDGF works at a cellular level to rebuild stronger, healthier tissue—making it a powerful option for those seeking long-term, structural skin improvement in North County San Diego.
IPL vs. Ultra 1927nm Laser: What’s the Difference and Why We Love Stacking Them
Sun damage? Texture? That dull, uneven thing you can’t quite put your finger on?
Here’s the truth: most people in Carlsbad don’t just have one skin concern. We have pigment from years of beach days, redness from coastal wind and sun, and subtle collagen loss that shows up as pores, crepey texture, or fine lines.
IPL clears the color.
Ultra 1927 rebuilds the quality.
And when you stack them? That’s when skin goes from “better” to editorial-level glow.
If you’ve been searching for the difference between IPL and laser resurfacing—or wondering which treatment actually gives you that lit-from-within look—this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for.
