What is a Photofacial (IPL)?
Photofacial (IPL) is a light-based skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum pulses of light to target pigment and vascular concerns in the skin. Unlike lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL can treat multiple skin concerns at once by penetrating different layers of the skin.

How does a Photofacial work?
IPL delivers controlled pulses of light into the skin. The light energy is absorbed by pigment (melanin) or blood vessels, which then break down naturally over time.
The body gradually clears these fragments, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion after each session.
It works by:
- Breaking down excess pigment (brown spots)
- Reducing redness and visible blood vessels
- Stimulating collagen for smoother skin
- Improving overall skin tone and clarity

Benefits of Photofacials
Even Out Skin Tone, Reduce Redness & Restore Clear, Radiant Skin.
Reduce redness
IPL helps reduce redness by targeting visible blood vessels beneath the skin with controlled pulses of light, which causes them to break down and fade over time. This results in a calmer, more even complexion with less persistent flushing or facial redness.
Reduce Sun Damage
IPL targets sun damage and pigmentation by breaking down excess melanin in the skin, which causes sun spots, freckles, and uneven dark patches to fade over time.
Minimally invasive, no downtime
IPL is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to improve skin clarity without breaking the skin’s surface. Because there are no incisions or injections, clients can return to normal daily activities quickly with minimal downtime or recovery needed.
Restores Radiant Skin
IPL helps restore radiant skin by targeting pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone, breaking down excess melanin so the complexion becomes brighter and more even over time. This results in a healthier, more luminous glow that looks refreshed and naturally revitalized.

FAQs
The number of treatments may vary depending on individual skin concerns, but typically 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended.
Your IPL treatment begins with a full skin assessment to determine the safest and most effective settings for your skin type and concerns.
During treatment:
- You may feel a mild snapping sensation
- Sessions are typically quick (20–40 minutes)
- Redness may occur for a few hours after treatment
- Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off
Some patients may experience slight redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day. There is no significant downtime required.
Typically, clients with sensitive skin get the best results because their skin has more redness and this treatment reduces redness within a few days.
