Tone and texture, reset by light

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.

    Sun damage

    Addresses the fine lines that appear as collagen production declines.

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.
