WHAT IS AN IPL PHOTOFACIAL?
IPL photofacials utilize the light of various wavelengths. The light is capable of penetrating through the surface layer of skin, also known as the epidermis, into the second layer, the dermis.
The intense pulsed light targets the pigment-producing cells within the skin. These cells absorb light, which is then converted into thermal energy. The heat from this energy effectively destroys the pigment-producing cells. This clears away a variety of blemishes on the skin and destroys acne-causing bacteria, reducing acne.
Over the course of a few treatments, skin imperfections are significantly reduced revealing a healthy, more youthful appearance.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Ideal candidates for an IPL photofacial are patients looking for a quick, precise, and convenient solution to skin imperfections.

Patients with darker skin tones are not ideal candidates for this treatment option, due to the possibility of changes in skin pigmentation as a result of treatment.
Candidates who are pregnant should wait until after they have given birth before coming in for an IPL photofacial.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH AN IPL PHOTOFACIAL
We work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired results. The condition of your skin and your individual treatment goals will determine how many photofacials are necessary.
For optimum results, you may need more than 1 photofacial treatment. In most cases, 2 to 6 sessions will effectively treat a problem area. These treatments are usually spaced approximately four weeks apart.
The reason behind this has to do with the skin’s natural cell turnover rate. The skin heals and replenishes the surface skin layer every thirty to forty days. Spacing your IPL photofacials out gives your skin the time to heal. Through this healing process, the skin rejuvenates and is left looking supple, youthful, and clear.
THE TREATMENT PROCESS
