About IPL Photofacial
How IPL Photofacial Works
IPL delivers pulses of broad-spectrum light through the skin's surface. The light energy is absorbed by targeted chromophores in the skin, specifically melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (redness). When melanin absorbs the light, dark spots are broken up and gradually fade. When hemoglobin absorbs the light, blood vessels constrict and redness diminishes. The surrounding skin tissue is not damaged, allowing for a relatively comfortable treatment with minimal downtime.
Who It's For
IPL photofacials are well-suited for adults with sun damage, age spots, freckles, redness, rosacea-related redness, or broken capillaries. The treatment works best on lighter skin tones because the light targets contrast between the discoloration and surrounding skin. Individuals with darker skin tones should discuss suitability with their provider, as there may be an increased risk of pigmentation changes. A provider consultation is important to assess candidacy.
What to Expect
An IPL session typically takes 20 to 30 minutes for the face. The provider applies a cooling gel and uses a handheld device to deliver light pulses across the treatment area. Most people describe the sensation as a warm snap, similar to a rubber band. Treated pigmented spots may darken initially before flaking off over the following 7 to 14 days. Mild redness is common for a few hours after treatment. Most people resume normal activities immediately.
