What Is an IPL Photofacial?
An IPL Photofacial uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment irregularities, redness, and signs of aging in the skin. This non-invasive treatment addresses sun damage, age spots, and vascular concerns by stimulating collagen production and promoting cell turnover, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. Treatment plans are tailored to your skin type and concerns, with individual responses varying.
IPL Photofacial Treatment Focus
