IPL Photofacial

Photofacial is a skin treatment that uses light-based technology, primarily for boosting collagen, treating brown spots, and diminishing broken capillaries, often called rosacea.

The number of IPL photo facials you need will vary depending on the condition you are treating, the results you want and how your skin responds. Photo facials work best in conjunction with a regular skin care routine that you develop with your esthetician.

A photo facial is a very gentle treatment that uses narrow spectrum light to boost collagen, which creates plumper, younger-looking skin or to kill the bacteria that causes acne. This type of photo facial is more likely to be found in a medi spa with a serious focus on medical esthetics. Photo facials are painless and relaxing. The best results come after a series of photo facial treatments. To begin, a series of six treatments with two to three weeks between is recommended. After that, maintain with a treatment every month or two. It can be part of a facial or a stand-alone treatment.

Photo facials are a good choice for people who want to boost collagen, treat acne, rosacea, and sun damage and age spots on any part of the body. Their collagen-boosting, facial rejuvenation properties have been proven with medical research. The results will not be as dramatic as plastic surgery, but it’s a gentler, more natural, less expensive way to go.
