For those looking to improve the overall texture and
appearance of the skin, IPL has exceptional results for
photo rejuvenation. Benefits include reduced pore
size, reduced wrinkle size and a more even skin tone.
Best of all, there's minimal discomfort and virtually no down
time.

IPL photofacial is an
innovative way to quickly, safely and comfortably improve
your skin’s texture, tone and color. Though a noninvasive
method of photo rejuvenation, IPL photofacial treats photo-
aged skin, removes age spots, most benign brown pigments and
redness caused by broken capillaries. |

|
How does IPL Photofacial work?
|
|
IPL Photofacial utilizes a laser light medical device that
delivers a series of gentle pulses of visible light onto the
surface of your skin. In a series of treatments, the light
will target the surface of your skin to effectively
eliminate redness, broken capillaries, brown spots, sun
damage, large pores, fine lines, and Rosacea and melasma
conditions. Upon assessing the degree of skin damage,
specific settings are selected by a Registered Nurse to
customize photofacial treatment for best results. Some
patients/clients opt for chemical peels or microdermabrasion
in conjunction with photofacial treatments to enhance
results. |
|
|
What happens during a Photofacial treatment?
|
|
Once the settings are established you and the nurse will
wear protective eyewear, a cool gel will be applied to the
areas to be treated. During the treatment, the hand piece is
applied to the skin, which will feel cool. When the pulse of
light is delivered to the skin surface, you will feel a
brief warm pinching sensation. |
|
|
How many treatments will I need?
|
|
On average, 4-6 treatments are recommended, scheduled at 4
week intervals. Each session usually lasts about 20 minutes
with patients/clients returning to normal activity
immediately afterwards. |
|
|
What happens after the treatment?
|
|
Immediately following your photofacial, you will notice
reddening of the surrounding skin (typically subsides within
a few hours). Signs of age spots and sun damage will darken,
but over the next 1-2 weeks will fade or flake off.
Capillaries will be either blanched out or darkened. |
|
|
When will I see results?
|
|
Within 2-3 weeks after your treatment, your complexion will
be clearer and younger looking. You will notice a reduction
in redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. The skin looks
healthier as sun damage, fine lines, pore size, freckling
and irregular pigmentation is minimized. Remember to avoid
sun exposure, wear a broad spectrum sun-block, even in the
winter months. Protect your rejuvenated complexion. |
