About IPL Photo Facial

Revitalize Your Skin with Our Facials

Between the sun, harsh cleansers, pollution, and aging, our skin can become dull and wrinkled (two of our least favorite words). Thankfully, with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, you don’t have to be stuck with skin issues. Think of IPL as a multi-tasker—from age spots to sun damage—it can pretty much tackle it all.

The IPL Photofacial treatment uses short blasts of high-intensity light to produce younger-looking skin that’s firmer and more even in tone and texture. With little recovery time and no surgery, you’re going to start wondering if this anti-aging, skin rejuvenating, sun damage-reversing treatment is magic. (It’s not, it’s just science.)

What to Expect
The first step is your free consultation.
During your consultation, a treatment provider will carefully examine your face, neck, chest, and hands to check you to avoid medications that make you more sensitive to light, but always consult your doctor before stopping prescribed medications.

During Treatment
Treatments are quick and usually take about 30-60 minutes.
During the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and swollen. This is a normal reaction.
You might feel a slight warming of the skin and mild discomfort during treatment.
 
After Treatment
You’ll be asked to avoid scented lotions, exfoliants, and aggressive scrubbing.
It’s normal for freckles and sunspots to initially get darker and they usually flake off within one to three weeks.
You might feel something like a sunburn after the treatment, but an ice pack should help.ck for the kind of sun damage, vascular issues, and pigment irregularities that can be helped with IPL.

Before Treatment
You’ll be asked to stay out of sunlight before getting the treatment done.
If you’ve tanned recently, we’ll ask you to wait a while before coming in for treatments.
