How IPL Photofacials Work
IPL stands for intense pulsed light. During treatment, pulses of light are delivered to the skin to target pigment and damaged areas. The light breaks down discoloration below the surface, allowing the body to naturally flush it away over time. It’s not a laser and doesn’t affect the surrounding skin. It just works on the areas that need attention.
What IPL Can Treat
IPL photofacials are a versatile option for a range of skin concerns. Here are some of the most common issues it helps improve:
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Brown spots and age spots
- Visible blood vessels
- Redness and rosacea
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged or visible pores
Though often used on the face, IPL treatments can also be done on the neck, chest, and hands for a more uniform appearance.
What to Expect During Treatment
One session usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Most people describe the feeling as a quick snap or warm pulse, but nothing too uncomfortable. Afterward, you might have some redness, but it typically fades within a day. Spots may darken temporarily before flaking off, revealing fresher skin underneath.
Is IPL Right for You?
IPL works best on lighter skin tones and can be a safe choice for people dealing with pigmentation issues or redness. It’s not ideal for those with darker complexions or active skin conditions. We’ll evaluate your skin to make sure IPL is a good match before recommending your treatment.
