IPL Photo Facials
A laser skin rejuvenation treatment designed to effectively address various skin concerns, including
sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, broken capillaries, and collagen improvement. This
advanced treatment works by penetrating deep into
the skin to target and reduce discoloration, while
also stimulating the production of collagen for a
firmer and more youthful appearance.
About IPL Photo Facials Procedure
Our IPL Photo Facial treatment is a quick and non-invasive procedure designed to target various skin concerns with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. The treatment typically lasts about 20 minutes, making it convenient even for those with busy schedules. During the session, pulses of light penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin texture. The procedure is virtually painless, with most clients experiencing only a mild warming sensation. Afterward, you may notice slight redness, which subsides within 24-48 hours, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
Benefits of IPL Photo Facial Treatments
PL Photo Facials offer a safe and effective solution for those looking to improve their skin's appearance without invasive procedures. This advanced skin rejuvenation treatment
works by delivering intense pulses of light to target and break down pigmentation, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen production for a healthier, more youthful complexion.

IPL Photo Facials – Frequently Asked Questions
-
How Many Treatments Are Needed?The average person generally requires between 8-12 treatments. The treatments are usually 4-6 weeks apart. Sometimes with hormonal issues like PCOS and thyroid disorders, or larger body areas - additional treatments are needed.
-
Can I Tan While Receiving Laser Hair Removal?No tanning in between treatments. SPF of at least 35 should be used during sun exposure as hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin in the area treated) may occur in a small percentage of people.
-
What Happens After My Treatment?After the treatment the hair will go through a 3 week shedding process. The majority of the hair will shed out in 3 to 4 days after the treatment but it can take up to 3 weeks or more for stubborn hairs to work their way out. By the end of the 3rd week you will start to see the effects of the laser hair removal treatment. The hair will grow in slower and less coarse and may appear patchy.
-
Why Do I Still See Hair After My Laser Session?Laser does NOT treat the hair itself, so you will still see hair after the treatment. Laser targets the papilla, which is at the base of the follicle that supplies nutrition to the hair. It takes several treatments to stunt the hair growth. Even after hair stops growing in additional treatments are required to ensure the hair stays gone long term. After the initial series of treatments, touch up treatments will be needed eventually, based on hormonal fluctuations and aging.
-
What Are the Common Side Effects?Some typical reactions are redness, bumps and sometimes swelling. It is possible for these to last up to two to three days but most will only be slightly pink for about 10 minutes.
-
How Large is the Treatment Area Per Laser Pulse?With every one second pulse of the laser it will cover the surface area of about the size of a nickel, treating all the hairs within that circumference.
-
Does Laser Work on All Hair Colors?Laser does not work on blonde, gray or white hair.
-
Is There Pain During the Treatment?Ice packs are offered to numb the area before and during the treatment. We also offer a topical anesthetic cream that is recommended for sensitive areas such as the lip underarms and bikini. The topical needs to be applied 45 minutes before the treatment, so it can be sent home with you after your first appointment to be applied for your future treatments.
-
How Does the Laser Work?The Candela gentle yag is a device that produces an intense but gentle burst of light that fragments to reduce hair growth with selective destruction and minimal harm to the surrounding tissue.
