What is an IPL Photofacial?

IPL Photofacial employs high-energy light pulses to enhance the skin's texture and tone. Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, this cutting-edge treatment penetrates beneath the skin's surface without affecting the top layer, ensuring rapid recovery. When the light is absorbed by pigments in sunspots or the blood in visible vessels, it converts to heat. This process effectively dissolves pigment-causing cells and shrinks visible vessels, revealing a more refined complexion.

Who is a candidate for an IPL Photofacial?

Those grappling with acne, birthmarks, stretch marks, age-induced spots, or broken blood vessels might find IPL a game-changer. It also addresses hormonal dark spots, skin discoloration, fine wrinkles, and freckles. However, skin tone plays a pivotal role in treatment success. Lighter skin tones usually achieve the best outcomes, while tanned or darker skin types might face pigment change risks post-treatment. We recommend consulting with our experts, especially those with certain skin conditions, sensitivity to light, or current retinoid cream users.

Consultation

Your journey starts with an in-depth consultation, where your aesthetic aspirations and medical history are discussed. This ensures that IPL aligns perfectly with your goals and health.

Pre-treatment care

Prior to the treatment, it's imperative to avoid sun exposure for a minimum of two weeks. Patients must also discontinue aggressive skincare products and should not have used Accutane in the last six months.

Post-treatment care

Following the procedure, your skin might exhibit sunburn-like symptoms. However, these usually subside within a day. We recommend gentle skincare, consistent sunscreen application, and avoidance of direct sunlight to maintain the results.

Session duration and frequency

A typical IPL session spans 15 to 30 minutes. For optimal outcomes, a series of three to six sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart, is advised.

Safety and potential risks

While IPL Photofacial is safe, like all procedures, there are associated risks, albeit rare. Potential but extremely rare complications include skin discoloration, blisters, scars, and burns. Those on photosensitive medications need alternative treatments.

Cost and financing

The cost of an IPL Photofacial at Yarrow Bay depends on the number of sessions. As an IPL PhotoFacial cosmetic procedure, medical insurance typically doesn't cover the expenses. We invite you to explore financing options with a helpful member of our financing department.
