Improving your appearance is as easy as having an IPL photofacial, a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that people may use to reduce the signs of aging or remove unwanted hair. It uses cutting-edge technology to target the deeper tissues under the skin and induce the body to produce more collagen, a process that slows down with prolonged sun exposure and aging. It eliminates many of the dark patches, broken capillaries, and acne scars that can affect a person's true beauty.
The following will answer frequently asked questions from the three phases of IPL treatment.
Before treatment
Am I a good candidate for this treatment? / Will this treatment work for me?
The best candidates are people with uneven skin tone, signs of discoloration or visible veins on the skin. Facial light therapy can also improve the appearance of fine lines.
I have darker skin - can I still receive this treatment?
Phototherapy facials are best suited for light to medium skin tones.
Can I have it done during my lunch break?
Absolutely. The exact treatment time may vary from patient to patient, but a session usually takes 15-20 minutes.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
Most patients receive 4-5 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual and the area being treated.
What should be the frequency/distance of treatments?
Treatments are 3 weeks apart.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the treatment?
Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or cosmetics prior to the treatment, and stop using any products that may irritate your skin 2-3 days prior to the treatment. You must also avoid tanning and it may be recommended that you shave the area prior to the treatment. Remove all jewelry around the treatment area.
