IPL PHOTOFACIAL

Small brown skin spots develop from being in the sun without protection. In addition, you may see premature aging on your face, hands, and decollate. Sunspots come from sun exposure with no protection. IPL is the perfect remedy for improving your skin tone and restoring a youthful complexion.

Venus Concept’s IPL treatment is a non-surgical way to target pigment under the skin’s surface. The device reduces the appearance of discoloration and premature aging. You will feel minimal discomfort and redness for about 24 hours afterward. An IPL Photofacial will give you clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

In addition, photo rejuvenation treatments work for vascular marks, spider veins, and capillaries. You can see a reduction in freckles, sunspots, and rosacea. You will only need a few treatments, which last about 15 to 20 minutes.

Photofacial treatments are done through Intense Pulsed Light or IPL technology to fade these signs of premature aging safely and effectively. IPL technology sends light through your layers of skin to target skin imperfections and correct them without damaging surrounding tissues.

You must also avoid any tanning, including with self-tanners. You may be advised to shave the area before your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.

DURING THE TREATMENT

The applicator has a cooling feature built into it to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, but you might feel a bit of discomfort if you’re treating a more sensitive area, like the upper lip. If you find it too uncomfortable, let the operator know and they can adjust the treatment accordingly.

AFTER THE TREATMENT

After your treatment, your skin may feel warm, like a sunburn, and can remain red for anywhere from a few hours to a day. Be sure to follow instructions for before and after your treatment.

Avoid tanning for at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after your treatment, and wear sunscreen. You should also avoid hot baths, massages, or any treatment that requires direct contact with the skin for the first 2 days after your treatment.

Following an IPL treatment, you can apply makeup immediately after but make sure you put on sunscreen first. There is no downtime. You can return to your daily schedule immediately after your treatment.
