This is a safe and effective treatment without any “downtime’ or interference with an active lifestyle. IPL photo facials emit pulses of light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots or the blood in visible redness and is converted to heat. The heat destroys the cells that hold the pigment and within 4-6 days after your treatment they disappear. IPL’s fight off Rosacea, flushing, redness, ruddy complexion, broken capillaries, spider veins, sun damage, age spots, hyper pigmentation, melasma, pregnancy mask, multiple freckles, reduces fine lines and reduces pore size. Three to five treatments are recommended for maximum results. IPL is typically done on the face, but may also be used on the chest, back, neck, and hands.
