What is an IPL® photofacial?
An IPL® photofacial is an outpatient procedure that is performed with the use of an Intense Pulsed Light laser. A special wand is used to deliver light beams to precisely the right area of the face or body. These light beams work to erase imperfections, while also tightening the connective bands that are in deep tissue layers. Each session takes around 30 minutes to complete.

- Sun spots and sun damage

- Redness in the facial area

What does the skin normally look like afterward?
Right after an IPL® photofacial, the skin may be slightly red and swollen. There can also be blisters on the skin, but these normally go away within a few days.
How many treatments are typically necessary?
Up to four treatments could be needed depending on the condition of the skin. These are usually scheduled approximately four weeks apart.
How long does it take for results to become noticeable?
Some improvement can typically be seen in two to three weeks, but it could take until the end of a treatment program before the desired results are achieved.
Do any precautions need to be taken during the recovery period?
Patients may be more prone to sunburns than before. As a result, wearing sunscreen when outdoors is especially important. Individuals should also contact a physician if any usual swelling occurs since this could be a sign of an infection.
How long will the results last?
No exact results can be guaranteed; however, many people are able to enjoy the benefits of their IPL® photofacial for about two years.

- Dark-skinned individuals
