IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is an advanced laser light treatment targeting pigment-related concerns, such as Age Spots, Sun Damage, Freckles, Spider Veins, Redness, Rosacea, and Large Pores. This treatment involves the application of intense light that penetrates deeply beneath the epidermis, stimulating collagen production. The targeted pigment issues absorb the light, gradually rising to the skin’s surface and eventually shedding, revealing rejuvenated, youthful, and radiant skin.
IPL can be effectively utilized on various body areas, including the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, arms, and legs.
At LifeStream Aesthetics, our physician will conduct a comprehensive skin assessment to determine the suitability of sun damage treatment for your individual needs.
Following an IPL photofacial, no downtime is required. You may experience slight swelling and pinkness, which typically subsides within hours. Makeup can be used to conceal any temporary discoloration. To minimize irritation and accelerate healing, we recommend applying a soothing cream and utilizing anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling. Over the next few days, underlying sun damage and irregularities will surface and naturally exfoliate. It’s essential to safeguard your skin with sunscreen and avoid picking at your skin during this period. While initial results are noticeable after one session, optimal outcomes are typically achieved through several photofacial sessions. The recommended schedule at LifeStream Aesthetics is approximately 3 – 6 sessions spaced every four weeks.
