IPL Photofacial Services

Do you have flaws on your skin caused by the sun and other factors like free radicals? If so, an IPL Photofacial is the perfect treatment for diminishing all of your age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, or lesions (vascular or pigmented). We use an advanced device called the Photofacial system that offers intense pulsed light, laser therapies, and Skintel, the only melanin reader invented. Its customizable settings allow for precise results. The low pulse light improves the texture and condition of your skin, giving you a smooth, regenerated appearance.

The advantages of this treatment include:

Did you know? In a study, nearly 60% of patients experienced at least moderate improvements in the skin around the eyes after three months of IPL sessions.

The Science

The ICON device absorbs melanin with pulsed light, which crumbles the skin’s pigment on the targeted area without harming the surrounding tissue. It even has a setting to treat fractured blood vessels on the inner layers of the skin. The two main types of blood vessels it treats are vascular and pigmented lesions that will shrink and fade after treatment. The first few weeks after the treatment, your body flushes the melanin particles through its lymphatic system. The perk we rave about the most is that the IPL ICON improves skin texture by stimulating new collagen resulting in vibrant skin.

The Treatment

The area is prepped and cleansed during your treatment to diminish oil and other impurities. We may apply a gentle numbing cream to enhance your comfort. The ICON device is glided on your skin, and it instantly starts to provide the area with intense pulse light beams. You may get mild tingling sensations as the light penetrates the skin – most patients say it feels like a rubber band snaps. These sensations fade quickly. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes for each targeted area.

FAQ’s

Which areas are treated?

IPL Icon can treat the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and hands.

When will I see the results?

You’ll start to see the results in one week. Enhancements will continue to improve, and optimal results will become visible four to six months after the procedure.

How long do results last?

Typically, the results of an IPL Potofacial will be apparent for six months to one year. We recommend follow-up procedures every six to twelve months.

What can I do to prepare for my treatment?

We may ask you to do the following preparation for your skin rejuvenation treatment:

• Avoid sun exposure and use an SPF 30 sunscreen when outside
• Discontinue using particular topical creams like retinoids because it affects sensitivity
• Don’t smoke for better skin healing after IPL
• Drink water to keep your skin hydrated

What can I do to recover?

Keep the treated area moist. Don’t peel or exfoliate the treatment area. Let it naturally heal. You may wear makeup. If you’re not wearing makeup, ensure your skin is moist to accelerate healing. Cover the treated area with an SPF 30 moisturizer if you go out in the sun. Don’t take hot showers and go to swimming pools for a week after treatment.

Are there side effects?

Yes. You may get mild sunburn sensations and slight swelling.
