IPL ( Photofacial )

Intense Pulse LIght treatments ( referred to as IPL or Photofacials ) are a form of laser therapy used to to seek out chromophores of the skin such as hair, pigmentation, redness and telangiectasia. A handheld device flashes intense pulses of light into the skin, photonic particles are attracted to the darkest pigment they can quickest absorb into so they easily find and eradicate the desired target. These flashes of light feel similar to a rubber band snapping the skins surface. An ultrasound gel is applied to the treated area prior, this helps light better penetrate into the skin. Eyewear is worn to protect the eyes from the intense pulses of light. Treatments only take a few minutes per area​

​

IPL treatments use scattered light to safely detect & address unwanted chromophores in the skin whereas resurfacing lasers use collimated beams to ablate underlying tissues. Ablation compromises the skins barrier and potentially poses permanent scarring so IPL is by far the safest option for treating pigmentation and erythema

IPL can't be performed on dry skin; If your skin is showing signs of dehydration schedule a facial and seek guidance on proper homecare prior to scheduling. Expect redness, swelling and scaling for 3 to 7 days post procedure
