Contact UsWhat is IPL?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) photo rejuvenation facials are a cosmetic treatment that prompts the skin to regenerate by destroying the upper layer of the skin with severe discolorations, sunspots, and rough texture from long-term sun exposure. Anyone who is often exposed to UV rays, either from the sun or tanning beds, without protection can develop premature signs of aging. For patients in the Las Vegas, NV area, an IPL photo rejuvenation facial at VIP Plastic Surgery by our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Christopher Khorsandi. This will prompt new skin growth to improve and rejuvenate the appearance. IPL facials can also reduce or eliminate mild acne scars and other skin irregularities. IPL facials are most often used to treat the face area, but the neck, chest, and hands are also treatable areas.

- Smoother skin tone and feel
- Balancing of pigmentation and age spots
- Revitalized, enhanced skin look
- Soothing, spa-like treatment that supports total skin health
What to Expect
When undergoing IPL treatment, cold gel is applied on the skin to help with any discomfort. The eyes are also protected from the intense light. During the treatment, the handheld applicator is gently glided over the skin to treat the targeted areas. There may be discomfort during treatment and pain may be present but tolerable — similar to a slight sting of a rubber band snap. The treatment generally lasts less than 30 minutes as extended exposure to the laser may cause complications. Patients are able to return to their normal routine after the treatment is over, but it's important to note that the skin may appear reddish with slight swelling and blotchiness. This normally disappears after a few hours. It is very important to adhere to our post-treatment advise when it comes to care. Several IPL sessions are usually recommended spaced every three weeks. The results are gradual and optimal results may be seen after a few months.
VIP Plastic Surgery Reviews
I really enjoyed my experience here, I went in requesting a microneedling session for acne and scarring (no idea what I needed) and was pleasently surprised to learn more than expected. I was encouraged to have a more affective facial and laser treatment to clear the acne first and then in time move forward with microneedling after my acne is addressed. I didn't feel pressured into buying more things or spending more money, I felt taken care of. I was with Jacqui from the moment she greated me at the door. She is absolutely lovely. I enjoyed her energy and overall professionalsm. I felt listened to and understood. I am excited to go on my skin journey with her!
Amazing & friendly stuff! My wife loves the place, will definitely be back! they always run amazing promotions! Their new laser treatment results are AMAZING!
Several of our staff and Talent have used this practice for a few different treatments, we had all good experiences and wanted to share below: Laser Tattoo Removal: After using 4 different laser professionals over the years, theirs is by far the strongest and most powerful thus far. More ink was removed in 1 session than any previous session with others. Morpheus: Was skeptical this would actually work.. but within 10 days the little tuft under the chin was GONE. And the slight sagging along the jawline gone ( we only did next/chin/jawline not entire face ). Will definitely repeat once a year to remain snatched! Patient age 37 and fit w/ trouble tightening that specific area with exercise / diet alone. This really worked. A++ Lip lift: For those who can't achieve the high cupids bow look with filler or want to minimize how much filler they need, slam dunk. Recovery was easy, looked 7-8 years younger post-op. Game changer. Finally the lips always desired and without filler. C02 Laser: Used 1 year post-op from lip lift to minimize scarring. Depending on how your body heals / how you scar a white spider-y scar can develop over time. 1-2 sessions with the C02 laser and it's nearly invisible. Some prefer to do their whole face for fresh youthful skin and the results we saw were GREAT. Also - Mel is amazing we love her!! And Dr K is highly experienced, makes you feel comfortable and the process fun. Highly recommend VIP for literally everything ❤️
Stop looking for the best plastic surgeon because you just landed on Dr. Christopher Khorsandi and found the ELITE. I cannot put into short words how grateful I am to have chosen Dr. Khorsandi and his incredible team for my breast augmentation revision. Had I found him sooner I would’ve never had to have a revision in the first place. From the moment I sent my inquiry for a consultation to the day I stepped into his office I just knew I was making the best decision. I expressed my concerns to Dr. Khorsandi and he knew exactly what needed to be done without hesitation or question. The trust was immediate so I moved forward with scheduling the revision. At pre-op everything was solidified and bloodwork was done to make sure I was in good health to even have the procedure which wasn’t something my previous surgeon did. Fast forward to surgery day, check in was seamless and I was in the operating room before I knew it. With my revision Dr. Khorsandi had to repair my pockets and add a Galaflex internal mesh to prevent them from bottoming out again and falling into my armpits. With all of this there was certainly more discomfort this time around but it was worth it in the end. My insecurity is gone and my confidence is through the roof. So I just want to thank Dr. Khorsandi, Patricia, Sara, Yadira, Tina, Melanie, and everyone on his team for all they have done. I’ve now done Dysport and Laser Tattoo removal with them because they are WORTH IT. Now, I just want to add that when I came to write the review I noticed some recent negative reviews that are just completely absurd. Most of which come from people who have only left negative reviews wherever they go. One in specific left negative reviews on multiple plastic surgeons in the valley so if you’re reading this I hope you’re grown enough to understand that there are malicious people everywhere who attack businesses behind keyboards and have never stepped foot in this office. Make the call for your consultation because you will not regret it and you'll see for yourself that you're in the best hands.
I just celebrated 10 years of being a faithful client of Dr, Choi. Dr Choi, at VIP Surgery, has been keeping me youthful all these years. He did a natural lower facelift back in 2014 However, since I grew up under the unforgiving sun of South America. I always thought the sun damage was pretty much done, but Dr, Choi confidently assured me, " I can get rid of these sun and age spots for you." So, we started a "ZO SkIN HEALTH by Zein Obagi" skin treatment program back in January 2024 which includes among others the following steps: Cleansing, exfoliating, toning, pigment control and deep repair of texture and wrinkle. My skin is not only 95% free of the sun/age spots, but also my fine wrinkle and skin 's texture are greatly ... greatly improved. Actually, now in my 70's my skin looks better than ever before! So, I highly recommend Dr. Choi for any of your skin concerns. If you want an honest doctor that won't oversold you anything with a magnificent magic hands, with an humble and unassuming personality with a brilliant mind, come and see Dr. Choi! You won't be disappointed!

Our IPL Technologies
Dr. Khorsandi is proud to offer the Venus Versa IPL system, as well as Inmode Lumecca. Both technologies are advanced systems that produce excellent outcomes for patients of varying skin types. During the initial consultation, which will include a thorough skin assessment, Dr. Khorsandi will recommend the appropriate device based on your specific needs, including the condition of your skin, the area being treated, as well as the desired outcome the patient hopes to achieve.
Venus Versa IPL
The Venus Versa IPL system includes the innovative SmartPulse technology, delivered through the handheld applicators to ensure precise and accurate energy delivery of pulsed light. Selectively filtered and delivered into the skin, the Venus Versa IPL system targets chromophores, which are oxyhemoglobins for melanin and vascular lesions in the skin. Studies have shown that Venus IPL delivers 1.5 times more energy than many of the existing competitors on the market and while the heat works to disrupt collagen and correct surface imperfections, the built-in, real-time cooling system constantly monitors the temperature for unparalleled patient comfort and safety.
Lumecca IPL by Inmode
Lumecca is another breakthrough IPL technology that effectively treats skin pigmentation, vascular redness, and skin damage related to the sun (such as poor texture, complexion, lesions, and freckles). Lumecca delivers up to 3X more energy in the 500-600 nm range to improve efficacy for a softer, smoother, vibrant outcome. Dr. Khorsandi uses the Lumecca to treat the most common areas that are exposed to the sun on a regular basis, such as the face, neck, chest, legs, and hands.
Photo rejuvenation using IPL is a noninvasive procedure that uses pulses of light that are strong enough to damage skin lesions and initiate a healing process to start production of new skin tissues. Both of our in-house IPL technologies are approved by the FDA and safe and effective to use on the face, neck, and chest.

IPL FAQs
Immediate Results?
Improvements are noticeable even after the initial treatment but optimal results may be evident after several months. The positive results of this laser treatment are gradual as the skin must be given time to heal to avoid any complications of an aggressive approach. There is no standard recovery time as patient’s condition can greatly vary.
Temporary Side Effects?
Side effects are mild. Redness, swelling, bruising are normal right after treatment. After a few days, blisters and crusting and skin peeling may be present. The patient must not pick on the skin as it is undergoing a normal process as it heals itself.
Pre-Treatment Prep?
It is recommended for patients who are scheduled for an IPL photo treatment to refrain from tanners and exposure to sun a month prior to schedule. There are also medications that must be avoided such as minocycline, tetracycline, doxycycline, or Retin-A/Renova a few weeks before schedule. These precautions minimize any risks of complications and reactions the laser light may cause. To help prevent bruising and excessive swelling, patients may be required to take aspirin and Ibuprofen a week before treatment.
Sun Exposure?
Although patients will not be as sensitive to sun exposure as one might think after undergoing the IPL, going out under the sun must be a limited activity especially in between treatments. Doing so may significantly affect the outcome and may cause complications. Sunblock must be regularly applied. This also helps in minimizing possible recurring skin issues like sun spots, wrinkles, and skin cancer.
Single Session Only?
A single session can’t last more than 30 minutes as extended exposure to IPL may be risky to the patient. An aggressive approach may bring negative effects instead of correcting skin irregularities. Several sessions are spread between at least a week so the resurfacing is gradual and results are longer term as the skin heals naturally.
