IPL in Danville, CA
What Is IPL?
If you are concerned about how your facial skin looks because of dark spots or sun damage, Elite MD can offer you a skin examination at our Danville, CA office to see if you'll benefit from intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. An IPL photofacial is a rejuvenating skin treatment for adults with hyperpigmentation issues on their neck and face. A photofacial may be a noninvasive procedure; however, it can be highly effective and create excellent results. Plastic surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal sends intense pulses of light that warm the skin cells just enough to ignite the natural healing process and boost collagen production. In time, you should see a healthier layer with a more even tone and fewer dark spots.
How Is IPL Performed?
A photofacial is performed at our Danville, CA office in about 20 – 30 minutes in our minor procedures room if no other treatments are performed. To start the treatment, your technician will clean and dry the skin to be treated before protecting your eyes with covers. The IPL photofacial is performed using a handheld wand that passes over the skin while emitting pulses of light energy. While many patients will feel mild discomfort during the IPL photofacial, it is generally bearable for the quick treatment time.
What Are the Benefits of IPL?
IPL photofacials are sought-after at Elite MD for their transforming qualities. A number of the advantages that our Danville, CA patients enjoy from their IPL facials involve:
- Neutralizing of pigmentation and dark spots
- Soothing, enjoyable procedure that supports overall skin wellness
- Revitalized, transformed skin appearance
- Restored skin tone and texture

I received a BBL (back fat transfer only) from Elite MD in December 2022. I’m two months post-op and am quite pleased with the results! Here was my overall experience. Consultation (Oct 2022):I received a consultation in October 2022 for the BBL. I had already done lots of homework and knew exactly what I wanted, but it was good to chat with the doctor live. The consultation was quite procedural as expected.Surgery (Dec 2022):The surgery itself was in the Danville office with Dr. D as the lead. Not much that I can really report other than I wasn’t in any pain. The procedure was local anesthesia, but I felt like I was pretty knocked out for the whole time despite not having general anesthesia. In addition to the actual fat transfer BBL, Elite MD also did a fantastic job of sculpting my back to help create even more curves to emphasize the results of the BBL.Post-Op Care (Dec 2022):Within the first two weeks of surgery I had 2 or 3 check-ins at the Danville office. While the appointments weren’t always on time, once Dr. B was in the room I felt like I had his full attention without the feeling of being rushed. Elite MD also gave me a very prescriptive post-op program that I think is actually what the made the biggest difference in keeping my results. Perhaps the most important part was Rima, Elite MD’s lymphatic massage specialist who can work wonders on moving things in your body to where they need to be.Overall:All this to say that I’m super satisfied with the results and my only regret is not doing this sooner. The surgery was fairly pricey, but I actually received a different consultation estimate at another local provider that was more than double Elite MD’s rate. Yes, there are even cheaper rates if you travel for this type of surgery, but I always felt safe and in good hands during the whole process at Elite MD. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a BBL. In fact, I will likely go back for another fat transfer surgery in the next year or so!
I’ve been on a "journey" most my life-from trauma and some other life challenges- I began healing myself spiritually, a little later in life, but started the process nonetheless .both mentally and physically and in 2010 I was told I had diabetes taking meds and pricking my finger. So , I decided I didn’t want to take meds or lose myself to this disease!I began learning to put good nourishing food in my body and it worked- I reversed the diabetes within two years and lost nearly 100lbs, by 2012 my body was feeling really good!! As a result of the weight loss I had a lot of loose skin- I hunted and searched for a DR I could afford and it was a struggle for me-over a period of ten years I saved up and found a DR in Atherton per a friend’s recommendation-and decided to roll with it.While I am happy I got my skin removed from front I have had some not so good results from the process.Finding DR B AND VANESSA AND the team I feel like I have a support system and a life line for the rest of my life- since my previous surgery in 2019, I researched someone who could help me with my whole self!! I wanted more-the loose skin and the way parts of my body still looked , left me feeling uncomfortable in my own skin (literally) I looked into Slits ms spa and decided to invest in myself- I felt so supported heard and lovedthe healing combination of the procedure and the "whole person" approach are ingredients for life, healthy life and longevity !!DR D and DR Bansal has given me a fresh start-Dr D and Dr B along with Vanessa and entire team, again have restored the hope I lost- my light had dimmed - I feel renewed, my zest for life and positive energy have resurfaced. and have realigned my mind BODY and spirit I can’t say enough about the beautiful gift elite Md spa and this crew - absolutely life changing in every way THANK YOU BELOW are my current before and after photos 5weeks post op- I had laser Lipo and jplasma renuvion-Lyhpatic massages and a lifetime of health light love and support

Amazing Results with an Excellent Staff! - I’m a 42 year old Asian male that really struggled with unhealthy habits during the pandemic. I was looking for a reset and needed to get back in shape and lose around 10-15 pounds. I had a previous consultation for laser lipo at another place prior to coming to Elite MD, and I’m so glad I decided to come here instead! From the initial consult to the post op treatments, everyone has been amazing. The deciding factor for me was after meeting Dr. Bansal for the first time, he really put me at ease and explained things about the procedure that I didn’t even think of, for example, he specializes in ethnic skin and that was not even something I considered. I was presented with multiple options for treatment and did not feel pressured to pick one over the other, it was left entirely up to me and what I wanted to achieve, which I really appreciated. Both procedures were thoroughly explained, and I ended up choosing vaser lipo for my upper and lower abs, and flanks. I am 7 weeks post op, and have lost 13 pounds as of today, no more love handles and my stomach has never been flatter. This result couldn’t have been achieved without Elite MD, the guidance they provided was top notch, they were thorough, knowledgeable, and care about my results as much I do. This is my first cosmetic procedure, and if I do decide on another one down the road, Elite MD would definitely be my first and last stop.
