How the IPL Photofacial Treatment Works

This treatment uses specific wavelengths of pulsed light to address issues in the treatment area, interacting with various layers of your skin and creating results without any kind of incision whatsoever. Pigmentation and redness will be addressed by the laser energy, which breaks down these problematic cells so they can be flushed out by your body and replaced by newer skin cells, for a natural and vibrant appearance. At the same time, the tissue layers will be tightened and firmed, for a more youthful look.

Your Consultation

During your consultation, we’ll get to know your skin type and personal goals, so we can guide you to the procedure that’s right for you. We offer a wide range of methods by which you can enjoy your ideal outcome, so we’ll take the time to explore all of your possible options.

You’ll be given a thorough explanation of how your treatment works and what you can expect to experience, as well as detailed aftercare instructions that will help you maintain your results for as long as possible.

Our support team will be available to you at every step of the process, keeping you comfortable and relaxed, and addressing any concerns that you may have. We’ll also remain with you after your procedure to ensure that you’re loving your results.

The Day of Your Procedure

Your IPL photofacial procedure will begin with the application of a topical cooling gel, to ensure your comfort throughout the entire experience. The laser energy will be passed over the treatment areas, during a process that typically takes between 30 and 90 minutes to complete. The procedure is quite comfortable, and the most discomfort our patients report involves a sensation that is similar to having a rubber band snapped on the surface of your skin.

A warm cloth will help to assuage any discomfort once the treatment is complete. We’ll apply a moisturizer with sunscreen to help keep your skin protected and nourished, and will provide you with makeup application instructions so you can rejoin your daily routine. We’ll let you know if repeat sessions are required to realize your cosmetic goals.

Enjoying Your Results

You’ll notice your final results taking shape over a short while, with hyperpigmentation and blemishes disappearing over the course of about five to seven days. This procedure also tightens your tissues and encourages your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, so you’ll continue to notice improvements in the treatment area in the weeks and months that follow your procedure.
