IPL

What happens during an IPL Photofacial treatment?

An IPL Photofacial is a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure designed to refresh your skin with little disruption to your day. Your clinician will start by cleansing the area and applying a cool gel to help the light pulses travel smoothly across the skin. Using a handheld device, they’ll then deliver precise pulses of light to the targeted areas. Each pulse lasts only a fraction of a second and works beneath the surface to break down pigment and stimulate collagen. The entire treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, and most patients describe the sensation as a quick snap followed by warmth. Afterward, you may notice some temporary redness or darkening of spots, but this quickly fades as your skin begins its renewal process.

Do I need to remove makeup before treatment?

Yes, your skin should be clean and free of makeup, lotion, or sunscreen before the session begins.

Is there a recovery period?

Downtime is minimal, and most patients return to normal activities right away.

How soon can I wear makeup after IPL?

Makeup can usually be applied the next day, but your clinician will provide specific aftercare instructions.
