What is IPL Photofacial?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial uses targeted light energy to treat sun damage, redness, broken capillaries, and uneven pigmentation. The light is absorbed by pigment and blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface, prompting your body to gradually clear away damaged cells over the following days and weeks. Most patients see a visibly more even tone after a series of sessions, with little disruption to daily life.
How does it work?
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) delivers controlled pulses of light into the skin, where the energy is absorbed by excess pigment and visible blood vessels.
- That light energy converts to heat, breaking down pigment and collapsing unwanted vessels without damaging the surrounding tissue.
- Over time, your body naturally clears the treated pigment and redness, revealing a clearer, more even complexion.
- Treatments are typically performed as a series for best results.
What conditions does it treat?
IPL may help improve:
- Rosacea and facial redness
Age spots and sun spots - Pigmented lesions and brown spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Freckles and other sun damage
- Redness caused by broken capillaries

Some improvement may be visible after the first session, with continued changes over several weeks as pigment and redness fade.
Is there downtime after IPL?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or temporary darkening of pigmented spots, which typically resolves within a few days.
