Purpose 

IPL photofacials are designed to help individuals with blotchy, sun-damaged, or discolored skin and those affected by large pores, freckles, or wrinkles. This treatment particularly benefits people with fair, untanned skin that retains some elasticity.  

Technology

During an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment, high-energy light waves target and reduce common signs of aging, such as facial wrinkles and skin discoloration. The light penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating the production of collagen, a natural protein that helps to fill in wrinkles and restore smoothness and suppleness to the skin. 

With each session, the effects of IPL become increasingly noticeable, leading to more pronounced improvements in skin tone and texture.

An IPL Photofacial (Intense Pulsed Light) is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses high-energy light pulses to target and correct various skin concerns.

Ideal Candidates for IPL Photofacials

IPL photofacials work best for individuals who:

While IPL treatment is highly effective, it may not be suitable for darker skin tones or individuals with certain medical conditions. A consultation with our experts will determine if IPL is right for you.

IPL Photofacials Process

Our IPL Photofacials procedure begins with a consultation and skin assessment. Before any treatment is administered, you will have a consultation with one of our skincare professionals, who will assess your skin type, identify specific skin concerns, and determine if IPL photofacials suit you. This step ensures that the treatment is customized to your needs and skin conditions.

Pre-treatment preparation includes cleansing the skin to remove makeup, oil, or impurities. We then apply a cooling gel to the treatment area to protect the skin and enhance the effectiveness of the light pulse. You will also be provided protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the intense light. 

We then begin the light application. The IPL device emits intense pulses of light that penetrate deep into the skin. The light energy targets pigments in the skin, such as melanin in age spots and hemoglobin in blood vessels. The device is systematically moved over the treatment area to ensure even coverage. The pulses of light may cause a slight stinging sensation, often compared to the snack of a rubber band against the skin. 

We apply a soothing cream post-treatment to calm the skin and reduce any immediate redness or swelling. We also apply sunscreen to protect the treated area from UV exposure, which is critical for preventing pigmentation changes and ensuring optimal results. 

Immediately following the treatment, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and diligently using a broad-spectrum SPF. Stay hydrated to aid the healing process and use gentle skincare products. Avoid harsh treatments like exfoliants for a few days following the procedure. 

Number of Sessions

We recommend four to five IPL treatment sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results. Typically, an annual treatment is also recommended to maintain results. 

Maintenance

Depending on your skin concerns and desired results, multiple sessions will likely be recommended. Treatments are typically spaced about 3-4 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and rejuvenate between sessions. 

While some improvements may be visible after the first session, optimal results are typically achieved with a series of treatments. 

Safety

As with any medical and aesthetic treatment, there are risks of side effects. Common side effects include redness, swelling, blotchiness, and a feeling of tightness or sunburn, typically alleviating in a few days. 

More intense side effects include blisters, bruising, crusting, blemishes, and hormonal brown spots. IPL treatments should always be performed by a trained technician.

Before and After Results

If you want to improve your skin’s overall texture and appearance, IPL photofacial treatment by Advanced Skin Therapy can give you exceptional results. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) refers to a broadband light filtered during treatment to target red and brown discoloration in the skin.

This procedure is ideal for treating skin aging and sun damage, including freckles, poikiloderma, sun spots, rosacea, brown discoloration, telangiectasias, and even scars. IPL photofacials usually take between 3-6 treatments to deliver the best results. However, some patients see significant results after the first treatment.

These treatments can occur every 3-4 weeks, and you should expect the outcome for facial IPL before and after every treatment to be different.

Guidance: Does IPL Have any Risks?

IPL has mild side effects that usually go away within a few hours or days of treatment. The common risks include:

  • Capillaries appear larger or darker immediately after treatment.
  • Face appearing flushed temporarily.
