How IPL Photofacials Work
IPL facials emit pulses of broad-spectrum light, penetrating the skin to target pigmented cells and blood vessels.
These cells absorb the light energy, then heat and break apart without damaging the surrounding tissue. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes the natural healing response. As a result, recipients often see reduced pigmentation, improved skin texture, and diminished fine lines. Over a series of treatments, IPL facials effectively rejuvenate the skin, providing a more even and youthful complexion.
Where IPL Photofacials Treat
What to Expect
During your IPL treatment, you may experience a mild snapping sensation as light pulses target skin issues like sunspots and acne. The procedure is relatively quick, lasting 20-30 minutes.
Your results can include the reduced appearance of sunspots and redness, with a more even skin tone. With little to no downtime, your skin may appear clearer, smoother, and more youthful, with improvements typically noticeable after a few sessions.
