IPL Intense Pulsed Light | IPL Photofacial | IPL Treatment

A Photofacial treatment is a series of gentle intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments developed to improve the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, as well as reduce redness and flushing, resulting in more youthful-looking skin. Photofacial treatments consistently and predictably improve the texture, tone and color of the skin with little to no down time. IPL also stimulates the growth of collagen, decreases pore size and gives skin a youthful appearance.

A Photofacial's short treatment time, quick effects and lack of downtime make it popular. A Photofacial gives skin a healthy, youthful look and decreases the appearance of blemishes such as brown spots and redness from rosacea. Noticeable results appear after the first few treatments. A session lasts about a half an hour.  The effects of a Photofacial can be permanent if the skin is well cared for.
