What Is IPL?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a noninvasive treatment used to address a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and uneven pigmentation. By delivering broad-spectrum light to the deeper layers of the skin, IPL targets melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down pigmentation and stimulating collagen production for a more even and rejuvenated complexion. Offered at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery, this treatment is effective on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, and hands, and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking to refresh and improve their skin’s overall appearance.

How Does IPL Work?
IPL therapy is performed by delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to the skin using a handheld device. The treatment area is first cleansed, and a cooling gel applied to enhance comfort. The device is then placed on the skin, where it emits precise bursts of light that penetrate the surface and target specific pigments, such as melanin or hemoglobin, to treat issues like sun damage, age spots, or redness. The light energy breaks down these pigments, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time. The procedure typically takes 20 – 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated, and requires little to no downtime.

IPL Reviews
I had a bbl, tummy tuck, breast reduction and lift. Dr. Hedden is great. It was a fast and healthy recovery.
I had a bbl and lipo 360 with Dr. Hedden last year, and I’ve been very happy with my results. I did an online consultation. The following appointments were pretty quick, and overall, the price was reasonable for what I had done. They were very straight forward about pricing and everything involved with the surgery. They also have good post surgery support, which I appreciated. I really liked that they have an after hours line for any problems you may have, and I could get in touch with an on call nurse who actually answers if I had any issues. I recommend them. I’m happy with how my body turned out, and the overall process was very organized and went smoothly.

My results were great - Dr. Gunn was very caring and patient - About six years ago, I had my BBL with Dr Gunn Dr My results were great zGunn was very current caring and patient and answer all of my questions. At this point, I am considering a BBL revision along with the tummy tuck. I will definitely post an update.
I’ve previously had a BBL and tummy tuck done by Dr. Hedden, and now I’m moving forward with my breast augmentation. I always knew I wanted to go back to him. From personal experience, he is a wonderful, highly experienced, and most importantly, a very safe doctor.I expressed my expectations and concerns, and as usual, he took the time to answer all my questions and ease any doubts I had. That level of care and attention is exactly why I trust him.I’m very excited for this next step and can’t wait to see my results.
