What is IPL Photofacial Treatment?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-invasive treatment to rejuvenate aged or damaged skin. The light pulses penetrate deep below the surface level of your skin, causing collagen and blood vessels to tighten. This treatment reduces age lines, wrinkles, and redness and provides excellent results for all clients. IPL Photofacial treatment is also beneficial for diminishing acne scars and improving the appearance of certain scars.

Additional Information About IPL

How does this treatment work?

The IPL device emits pulses of light that are absorbed by pigmented cells (such as melanin in dark spots) and hemoglobin in blood vessels (for redness and rosacea). The absorbed light converts to heat, breaking down unwanted pigmentation and coagulating small blood vessels without damaging surrounding skin. The body naturally eliminates the damaged pigment and vessels over time, revealing clearer, rejuvenated skin.

When will I see results?

Your skin will continue to tighten and heal for weeks after your treatment. It’s common to notice a gradual improvement with each passing day. Usually about two or three weeks after the treatment, you should have the optimal results you desire. 

NAWI helps you maintain your optimal IPL Photofacial results by guiding you through proper skincare regimens you can do at home. By using sunscreen, toners, moisturizers, and other topical solutions, your IPL Photofacial results can last for months. We recommend that you schedule another treatment if you notice discoloration or fine lines returning.

Does this treatment hurt?

Some patients describe a tingling or heating sensation while having an IPL Photofacial, but no pain. Afterwards, you may be a bit sore and swollen. It’s also possible to experience some redness after an IPL Photofacial, so make sure you schedule your treatment at least a day or two before any special event. These side effects are all normal and should subside shortly after your treatment.
