How Does Photofacial (IPL) Work?
IPL therapy delivers broad-spectrum light pulses to the skin, effectively treating a range of concerns by breaking down pigmentation and stimulating skin renewal. The treatment is tailored to your needs, offering benefits such as:
-
Pigmentation Correction: Reduces dark spots, sun damage, and age spots for a more even skin tone.
-
Redness Reduction: Minimizes rosacea, broken capillaries, and general skin redness.
-
Collagen Boost: Stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity.
-
Acne and Blemish Control: Targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The procedure is safe for most skin types and requires minimal downtime.
Procedure Duration
A typical IPL Photofacial session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. No numbing cream is required, and the procedure is well tolerated.
Post-Care Instructions
To ensure the best results, follow these post-treatment guidelines:
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
-
Keep the skin moisturized with a gentle, hydrating product.
-
Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
-
Do not pick or scratch any treated areas, as mild redness or darkening of spots may occur before they naturally fade.
-
Avoid harsh skincare products like retinoids and exfoliants for 5-7 days.
Results and Recovery
-
Minimal Downtime: Some redness may occur but typically subsides within a few hours.
-
Gradual Improvement: Dark spots may darken before flaking off, with optimal results visible in 2-4 weeks.
-
Recommended Sessions: For best results, 3-5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart are recommended.
