IPL or BBL Photorejuvenation
More strenuous activity: same day
Dr. Jefferey Kenkel offers IPL photorejuvenation, also called an IPL photofacial or BBL treatment, in Dallas and Frisco for non-invasive skin rejuvenation. This treatment helps people from Arlington and other nearby communities erase the damage caused by sun exposure, aging, and other biological factors. The patented non-laser technology delivers a broad spectrum of light that penetrates multiple skin layers, targeting pigment and vascular imperfections.
Unlike laser skin resurfacing, which may require at least 2 weeks of downtime, photorejuvenation doesn’t involve any downtime. You may experience some redness for a few hours or darkening of the pigment on your skin for a few days.
Dr. Kenkel is very kind and caring. He listened to my concerns about my skin and what could be done to make it look younger and more even toned.

- Skin imperfections and blemishes
- Decreases pore size
- Reduces redness from rosacea and flushing
- Eliminates unsightly small veins
- Evens out skin discolorations
Am I a good candidate?
A consultation is necessary prior to scheduling your treatment. The consultation allows Dr. Kenkel to determine your skin type, the appropriate laser necessary for your treatment, and if this would be the best treatment for your particular skin condition. You may find, during your consultation, that other treatments available in the clinic may benefit your skin condition better. Some treatments may also require a skincare regimen before beginning your treatment. The only way to determine if this is necessary is by having an initial consultation with Dr. Kenkel.
What do photorejuvenation treatments cost in Dallas & Frisco?
Photorejuvenation involves the use of sophisticated equipment that delivers precise and effective energy pulses. Our laser skin treatments and photofacials attract patients from Frisco and cities throughout the Dallas area. After your initial consultation, we’ll provide a price quote that involves the cost of the treatment, topical anesthetics, post-treatment visits, and an invitation for a free skincare consultation with our aesthetician.

Credentials You Can Trust
How are photorejuvenation treatments performed?
Your IPL/BBL photorejuvenation treatment will be performed in the Outpatient Building on the campus of UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas or at UT Southwestern Frisco.
A topical anesthetic cream is used to numb the areas of treatment and is applied 15 minutes before the procedure. After removing the anesthetic cream, an eyepiece is placed over the eyes to protect them from the light. A cold gel is then applied to the area(s) being treated and the smooth surface of the IPL™ handpiece is gently applied to your skin. The pulses of light produce a slight sting and the treatment lasts 15 to 30 minutes depending on the treatment area.
After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction in unwanted pigmentation and the appearance of smoother, revitalized skin. These treatments minimize red and brown spots while evening out skin color and texture.
How many treatments are necessary?
Depending on the number of conditions you want to be treated and the severity of the skin condition, a series of 5 to 6 treatment sessions are recommended. The procedure is non-invasive, so you can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activities. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk.
After your initial series of treatments, we may recommend a maintenance treatment in two or more years. Patients with redness from any skin condition may require maintenance treatments 1 to 3 times per year. We’ll provide information that will help you care for your skin and help diminish the likelihood of future treatments.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery with IPL is minimal. Your face may be red for a few hours after the procedure but this will subside. Pigmented areas on your skin may actually become darker initially. These spots are the pigment in your skin that is being brought to the surface and will disappear in the next few days.
You will need to avoid the sun as much as possible. In the early weeks and months following the treatment, your skin will be very susceptible to sun damage. If at all possible, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. If you must be in the sun for a short time, use sunscreen and wear a hat.
