IPL (INTENSE PULSE LIGHT)

WHAT IS IT?

A Photofacial is an FDA approved, non-invasive skincare treatment that utilizes light-based technology to help diminish the signs of aging, treat sun damage, Rosacea and vascular imperfections and correct hyper pigmentation. One of the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatments in America, Photofacial treatments are perfect for both men and women who want to improve the appearance of their skin, look younger and more revitalized.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

Using the latest technology in skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation, a Photofacial works by safely emitting an intense pulsed light, also known as an IPL Photofacial, over targeted areas of the skin. Short, pulsating blasts focus a high energy light below the surface of the skin. This helps stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production. It can also destroy melanin that causes age spots and uneven skin tone.
