IPL Photo Facials
( IPL) which stands for Intense Pulsed Light is a type of light therapy that uses a broad spectrum of light to treat skin conditions and sun damage. Also known as Photofacials, these treatments can be used on both face and body.
How Can You Prepare for the Treatment?
One of the first things to keep in mind when getting an IPL Photofacial is that you need to be tan-free. Why? With a tan, the machine won’t be able to accurately detect the specific areas and concerns that you want to be addressed, increasing the risk of being burned. You should avoid alcohol, aspirin, anticoagulants, ibuprofen, or anything that thins the blood.
What Are The Benefits Of Photofacials?
1. Treat Sun Spots , Dark spots, Sun Damage: Photo facials are used to even the skin tone, remove unwanted sun spots , and dark spots left behind from acne scars.
2. Reduces Skin Redness: If you have rosacea or any other skin condition that diffuses redness into the skin, then IPL therapy is an excellent solution. This treatment reduces the appearance of redness and targets specific areas to create a natural and even-tone complexion.
3. Helps Control Breakouts: Acne and breakouts can lower one’s self-esteem, making them more conscious about their appearance. IPL treatments can help those with severe acne and who experience redness and inflammation that’s caused by acne. IPL also eliminates large pores and reduces the appearance of acne without the need for topical products that dry out the skin.
4. Can Be Safely Combined With Other Procedures: The best part about IPL treatments is that this can be done along with other skin treatments, such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and others that target the outermost layer of your skin. IPL photofacials target the deepest layers of your skin, so choosing this along with treatments that target the outermost layers of skin offer even better results.
