Ipl / Photofacial

Photofacials with IPL are quick, 30-minute procedures. This treatment uses IPL, or intense pulsed light, to treat skin damage deep within the epidermis. Photofacial treatments using IPL use light of different wavelengths. Light can penetrate the epidermis, or surface layer of skin, into the dermis, the second layer beneath it.

Light pulses can target pigment-producing skin cells. Light absorbs in the cells, which then converts into thermal energy. When this energy is converted into heat, it destroys the pigment-producing cells. It reduces acne by eliminating acne-causing bacteria and clearing skin blemishes. The skin’s imperfections are significantly reduced after a few treatments, resulting in a healthy, more youthful appearance.

FAQs

What is an Ipl/Photofacial?

Photofacial is an IPL therapy that improves the color and texture of your skin without surgery. The IPL/Photofacial procedure can reverse some damage caused by sun exposure – known as photoaging.

How does it work?

Pulsed light therapy, or IPL Photofacials, uses a handheld device that emits pulses of broad-spectrum light directly onto the skin. It works at a deeper skin level, thus treating broken capillaries, sun damage, and other impurities.

Who would make a good candidate for Ipl Photofacial treatments?

Photofacial treatments are ideal for patients who want an effective, quick, and convenient way to correct skin imperfections.

How soon will I see any results?

IPL Photofacial effects are gradual, so you shouldn’t expect to see results immediately. In the first 7 – 10 days, you will see a change in your face.

How long do Photofacial results last?

Photofacial with IPL results usually lasts six months to a year. We generally recommend having a maintenance treatment every 6 – 12 months to maintain results.

Should I expect any recovery or downtime?

After treatment, there is no downtime or intensive recovery process, and you can get back to your usual routine within a day. After treatment, some patients experience temporary redness that lasts up to one week.
