IPL

The Intense Pulsed Light Photofacial, also known as IPL Photofacial or photorejuvenation is an anti-aging treatment that improves patients’ complexions by enhancing the color and texture of their skin. With pulses of light, IPL undoes the visible damage caused by sun exposure to the face, neck, chest, hands, arms and legs.  You will see an increase in pigmentation following your treatment since the underlying sun damage in the skin is pushed up to the surface. Post-treatment, you will notice tone and texture improvements as a result of increased levels of beneficial collagen and new healthy skin cells and reduction of sun damage.

*must wait 14 days post any injections for facial treatments*

Before: Avoid retinol 5 days prior. Cannot receive treatment with active cold sores or a sunburn.

During: You will experience a mild snapping sensation.

After: You will leave with mild redness to the area treated.
