The Benefits of Laser IPL Photofacial
- Improves Skin Tone: IPL Photofacials help reduce redness, age spots, and sun damage, giving your skin a more even tone and youthful appearance.
- Minimizes Pores: This treatment can shrink large pores, leaving your skin smoother and more refined.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The light pulses stimulate collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
- Quick and Convenient Sessions: are usually short, around 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule, and there's no downtime, so you can get back to your day immediately.
- Non-Invasive: Unlike more aggressive skin treatments, IPL Photofacials are non-invasive, meaning there are no incisions, injections, or harsh chemicals.
Treatment Areas for IPL
Laser IPL Photofacial can be performed on a variety of areas, depending on where you want to see improvement. Common treatment areas include:
- Face: Great for treating sun damage, redness, and age spots
- Neck: Helps to improve skin tone and reduce signs of aging
- Chest: Reduces sun damage and uneven pigmentation
- Hands: A popular area for treating age spots and restoring youthful skin
- Shoulders and Arms: Effective for sun damage or other discolorations caused by sun exposure
These areas are most commonly treated, but almost any part of the body that shows visible signs of sun damage or aging can benefit from a Laser IPL Photofacial.
Who Are Good Candidates for IPL?
A Laser IPL Photofacial is an ideal treatment for individuals who have lighter skin tones and are looking to improve sun damage, age spots, redness, or uneven pigmentation. It works best on those who have mild to moderate skin concerns and want a non-invasive solution with minimal downtime. While it is effective for many people, it may not be suitable for those with very dark skin or those with certain medical conditions. If you’re unsure whether IPL Photofacial is right for you, a consultation at Allure Medical Aesthetics will help determine your candidacy based on your skin type and specific concerns.
How Laser IPL Photofacial is Provided/Performed
At Allure Medical Aesthetics, a certified technician will begin your Laser IPL Photofacial by cleansing your skin and applying a cool gel to the treatment area. Protective eyewear will be provided to shield your eyes from the intense light. The IPL device is then applied to your skin, delivering controlled pulses of light that penetrate the surface and target the problem areas underneath. You may feel a slight warmth or a mild “snap” sensation as the light pulses. The treatment typically lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. After the session, your skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, but these effects usually subside within a few hours to a day.
