IPL Photofacial

IPL Photofacial

“IPL Photofacial” uses light energy that is converted to heat to target cells below the skin’s surface without causing damage to the top layers of skin, using short blasts of a polychromatic, high-intensity light to penetrate just below the skin’s surface, breaking up either the melanin that makes up brown age spots, or destroying broken capillaries – small, dilated, non-functional veins medically known as telangiectasia rosacea. IPL treatments also boost collagen and elastin growth.

Planning Your IPL Treatment

As with all treatments at our clinic, we require a preliminary consultation with a member of our highly qualified staff. During this time, we will review your concerns, treatment expectations, current skincare regimen, price estimates, and a brief overview of your relevant medical history. We use this information to ensure we are able to give you the results you are looking for with realistic expectations.

Before the Treatment

Prior to your IPL treatment, you should also avoid the sun completely, or wait 1 – 2 months after your last sun exposure to book your IPL treatment. That is why we recommend you book your IPL treatment during the fall, winter and early spring as these are the best times for IPL treatments. You should avoid using retinol, glycolic or exfoliating treatments 7 days prior to your IPL treatment. Also, avoid using Accutane for 12 months prior to treatments.

During the Treatment

Once you arrive at the clinic, you will be ready for treatment.Your eyes will be covered with adhesive laser shields and you’ll see a bright, continuous flash of light. You’ll feel some heat and a slight “snapping” sensation, but for most people, IPL treatments are comfortable and well tolerated. The duration of the treatment can be between 20 – 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

After the Treatment

Immediately following your IPL treatment, you may notice some darkening of brown spots. Broken capillaries may be reduced but are sometimes initially darker or bruised. Depending on what condition is being treated, you will notice some pinkness. Most brown spots take from 3 – 10 days to completely slough off. It is important to resist picking, peeling, or scrubbing the darkened areas for at least 2 weeks. For some, swelling of the treated area, particularly around the eyes, is possible and considered a normal side effect, which should resolve in 3 – 4 days.

IPL Treatments Give Noticeable Results

This treatment gives you noticeable results you’ll love. IPL treatments, sometimes referred to as “IPL photofacials” , is a broad-spectrum light treatment. IPL works the same way as skin lasers, using light energy that is converted to heat to target cells below the skin’s surface without causing damage to the top layers of skin. 

IPL uses short blasts of a polychromatic, high-intensity light to penetrate just below the skin’s surface, breaking up either the melanin that makes up brown age spots, or destroying broken capillaries – small, dilated, non-functional veins medically known as telangiectasia rosacea. IPL treatments also boost collagen and elastin growth.
