IPL Photofacial
What is an IPL Photofacial?
An IPL photofacial is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to improve the appearance of the skin. This versatile procedure targets a wide range of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, broken capillaries, and mild acne scars, by delivering broad-spectrum light to the deeper layers of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the skin’s pigmented and vascular lesions, stimulating collagen production and causing the lesions to fade over time. Suitable for the face, neck, hands, and chest, IPL photofacial offers a rejuvenated, more even complexion with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking to enhance their skin’s natural beauty.
How Does an IPL Photofacial Work?
An IPL photofacial works by emitting a range of light wavelengths through intense pulsed light that penetrates various depths of the skin. This light is absorbed by the target cells with pigmentation and vascular lesions, such as sunspots and visible blood vessels, without harming the surrounding tissue. The heat generated from the light energy helps to break down these pigments, which are then naturally absorbed by the body, and stimulates collagen production, leading to a reduction in the appearance of skin imperfections. The result is clearer, smoother skin with improved texture and tone, achieved with little to no downtime.
