What is IPL Photofacial?

An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that improves skin appearance by using broad-spectrum light. It effectively targets sun damage, hyperpigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone while stimulating collagen production to enhance skin texture and smoothness.

IPL helps fade dark spots, reduce redness from conditions like rosacea, and improve skin elasticity, giving the complexion a more radiant and youthful appearance. The treatment is quick and requires little to no downtime. It also provides long-term benefits by boosting collagen and improving skin quality over time. IPL is a popular, customizable option for achieving a smoother, more even skin tone without surgery or extended recovery.

First step?

For an Icon IPL Photofacial consultation, our medical aesthetician will discuss your options and create a custom treatment plan that addresses your concerns and goals. We will also discuss risks and possible complications and give you an idea of what to expect in terms of results and recovery.

What to Expect on the Day of IPL Photofacial Treatment

During the IPL photofacial procedure, our medical aesthetician will use a handheld device to deliver pulses of broad-spectrum light to your skin. This energy targets pigment and blood vessels beneath the surface, reducing redness, sunspots, and uneven tone. You might feel a mild snapping sensation as the device moves across the treatment area. The non-invasive process stimulates collagen and enhances skin clarity without injections or incisions, offering a straightforward experience with minimal downtime.

IPL Photofacial Recovery

There is typically no downtime; you can return to most daily activities immediately after the treatment.

Pigmented lesions may initially look raised and/or darker with a reddened perimeter. They will gradually turn darker over the next 24-48 hours. These lesions will progress to darkening and/or crusting and will start flaking off in an average of 7-21 days.
