How it Works

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat various skin concerns. The IPL device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin's surface, reaching the underlying layers. This light energy is absorbed by the pigmented cells and blood vessels, breaking down pigmentation and reducing redness. The body's natural processes then remove these damaged cells, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin. IPL is effective for treating sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and other pigmentation issues.

What to Expect

During your consultation, our practitioners will assess your skin and discuss your concerns and goals. The IPL Photofacial procedure typically lasts about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A cooling gel is applied to the skin before the IPL device is used to deliver light pulses. Clients may experience a slight snapping sensation during the treatment, which is generally well-tolerated. After the session, a soothing cream or sunscreen is applied to protect the skin.
