While highly popular for facial rejuvenation, IPL Photofacial can effectively treat sun damage and pigmentation on other areas commonly exposed to the sun. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest (décolletage), and hands, allowing for a comprehensive approach to correcting discoloration.
During an IPL Photofacial, most clients describe the sensation as a quick, mild "snap" or "flick" of a rubber band on the skin, often accompanied by a warming sensation. Our devices incorporate cooling features to maximize your comfort during the procedure, making the experience very tolerable.
Combining different kinds of aesthetic and facial treatments is often recommended to help clients achieve the best results. Both IPL photofacial and chemical peels are minimally invasive, and getting both services together can help solve a multitude of skin problems like acne, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and more. At Evolve Med Spa, we customize our treatment plans for each client. During a consultation, our skincare experts will do a detailed consultation to help determine which treatment combinations at which time intervals will work best for your skin type and condition.
Although they both utilize light energy to treat different skin problems, IPL photofacial uses a broad light spectrum while a laser treatment uses concentrated light. This allows IPL photofacial to target pigment more effectively with little to no downtime.
The effects of IPL photofacial treatment are gradual, which is why most clients start to see initial results about 10 days later. The final results are long-lasting, so long as clients wear sunscreen and avoid the sun.
