IPL PhotoFacial
IPL PhotoFacial
An IPL PhotoFacial is a skin treatment that uses light-based technology to improve the appearance of skin. It delivers short pulses of light onto the skin, penetrating deep into the skin. The light energy reduces redness and minimizes the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. The light energy also stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture and tone.
The advantages of this treatment include:
- A safe, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation
- Treats sun damage, age spots, wrinkles, and other skin irregularities
- Enhances skin tone and texture for a more youthful overall look
- Reduces redness and flushing associated with rosacea
- Lightens freckles, age spots and evens skin tone
- Effective treatment for pigmentation due to acne
- Quick procedure with minimal downtime
- Results are visible after just one treatment
The Treatment
An IPL PhotoFacial treatment uses a high-intensity pulsed light (IPL) device to deliver light energy to target and treat damaged skin cells. During treatment, the IPL device emits a broad spectrum of light energy that penetrates deep into the skin. The targeted cells absorb this energy and this reduces sun spots, age spots, broken capillaries, wrinkles, fine lines, and other skin imperfections. As a result of the light energy, collagen and elastin is produced, improving the skin’s overall texture and tone. After treatment, the skin may look and feel smoother and brighter.
