IPL Photofacial
Reverse visible sun damage and redness with intense pulsed light — a gentle, no-downtime path to clearer skin.
What it is
An IPL (intense pulsed light) photofacial targets pigment and redness in the skin — sun spots, freckling, broken capillaries, and rosacea-related flushing. The light is absorbed by the unwanted pigment or vessels, which the body then clears, revealing brighter, more even-toned skin.
Ideal candidates
- You have sun spots, freckling, or uneven pigmentation
- You have facial redness or broken capillaries
- You have early signs of sun damage
- You want brighter skin with no downtime
The procedure
Light pulses are delivered across the treatment area in a 20–30 minute session. Most patients describe a light snapping sensation. A series of treatments produces the best results.
Recovery
Brown spots may darken briefly before flaking off over a week. There's minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activity right away with sun protection.
