A non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines bipolar radio-frequency
and light energies — dramatically improving the tone, texture and appearance
of your skin, with little to no downtime.
IPL — also referred to as a PhotoFacial — is a highly effective
treatment that is non-invasive, with little to no downtime.
This skin rejuvenation treatment combines the synergy of bipolar radio-frequency
and light energies to reverse the effects of many skin conditions, dramatically
improving the tone, texture and appearance of your skin.
Why skin changes after 30
Beginning in your 30s, collagen production decreases and proper cell reproduction
starts to decline, making skin recovery more difficult as you age. Brown spots,
skin discoloration, visible blood vessels and uneven tone all follow. IPL helps
improve each of these concerns.

What It Treats
One treatment, many concerns
IPL is typically used to reduce skin discoloration and treat the marks left by sun
damage — but it reaches a good deal further than that.
01
Brown spots & discoloration
Reduces the brown spots and uneven tone that follow declining cell turnover.
02
Rosacea & red spots
Calms rosacea and the red marks that sit close to the surface of the skin.
03
Sun damage
Targets the skin imperfections caused by years of sun exposure.
04
Visible blood vessels
Softens the small visible vessels that show as cell turnover slows.
05
Active acne
Can be used on active acne as part of a wider plan for your skin.
06
Fine lines & wrinkles
Addresses the fine lines that appear as collagen production declines.
07
Large pores
Refines the appearance of enlarged pores across the treated area.
08
Texture & laxity
Improves texture irregularities, including laxity and smoothness.
Treatment Areas
IPL can be used for
Each session runs 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being
treated on your face, neck and/or body.
01
Face
The classic PhotoFacial — evening out tone, softening redness and lifting brown spots.
02
Neck
Often shows its age before the face does, and responds well to the same treatment.
03
Chest
The décolletage takes years of sun exposure — IPL targets the discoloration left behind.
04
Hands
Sun spots on the backs of the hands are one of the clearest giveaways of age.
Frequently Asked Questions
IPL, answered plainly
Still unsure? Bring the question to your complimentary consultation —
there is no obligation to book a treatment.
What is intense pulsed light used for?
This skin rejuvenation treatment combines the synergy of bipolar radio-frequency
and light energies to reverse the effects of many skin conditions. IPL is a
great option to dramatically improve the tone, texture and appearance of your
skin.
Is intense pulsed light safe?
Intense pulsed light is generally a safe procedure, because harmful ultraviolet
wavelengths below 500 nm are blocked by the machine, removing the
possibility of receiving harmful radiation.
Can intense pulsed light cause cancer?
Ultraviolet wavelengths are removed by the machine, and the treatment does no
damage to the outer layer of skin. Intense pulsed light is therefore not
considered to increase the risk of cancer. If you have a personal or family
history of skin cancer, raise it at your consultation so your treatment plan
accounts for it.
How long does it take for IPL to heal?
You are able to function regularly right after the treatment, as long as you
apply, remove and rub items on your skin very gently.
How long after IPL will I see results?
Most patients require a series of up to 3–5 IPL treatments, performed
every 4–6 weeks, in order to see the desired results.
