What is Photofacial Treatment?
Photofacial, also known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy, is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses advanced light technology to target multiple skin concerns. The treatment uses broad-spectrum light to penetrate deep into the skin layers, where it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, promoting collagen production and reducing the appearance of various skin issues.
Photofacials are particularly effective for:
- Sun Damage & Age Spots: Reducing pigmentation, freckles, and sun spots caused by UV exposure.
- Redness & Rosacea: Minimizing redness and visible blood vessels, especially in conditions like rosacea.
- Uneven Skin Tone: Addressing skin discoloration, dullness, and uneven pigmentation.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Stimulating collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Enlarged Pores: Improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of pores.

How Does Photofacial Treatment Work?
During the treatment, light pulses are applied to the skin using a handheld device. The light energy is absorbed by the skin’s pigmentation and blood vessels, breaking down the pigment and stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. This helps to even out skin tone, reduce discoloration, and promote a smoother complexion.
What to Expect During the Treatment?
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a consultation with one of our dermatologists, who will evaluate your skin, understand your concerns, and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired results.
- Pre-Treatment Care: A cooling gel may be applied to your skin to protect it and enhance comfort during the treatment.
- Treatment Process: The IPL device is gently passed over the targeted areas of your skin. The treatment is typically quick, taking about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
- Comfort Level: The treatment is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snap against the skin. A cooling gel is used to minimize discomfort.
How Long Will the Results Last?
Results from Photofacial treatments are often noticeable after just one session. For optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments is typically recommended, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. The results improve over time, with skin looking smoother, brighter, and more even. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the results and keep your skin looking youthful.
Aftercare and Results
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you may experience mild redness or a slight sunburn sensation in the treated area, which typically fades within a few hours to a day. Your dermatologist will provide aftercare instructions to help you care for your skin.
- Sun Protection: It’s crucial to apply sunscreen regularly after treatment to protect your skin from further sun damage and maintain the results.
- Gradual Improvement: Over the weeks following your treatment, you’ll notice a reduction in pigmentation, an improvement in skin tone, and a smoother texture. Fine lines and wrinkles may appear softened, and the overall radiance of your skin will increase.
