What Is an IPL Photofacial?
An IPL photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses intense pulsed light to target certain pigmentation and vascular concerns while improving the overall appearance of skin tone and clarity.
IPL can be used to address concerns such as:
- Sun damage
- Brown spots and age spots
- Certain freckles
- Uneven skin tone
- Facial redness
- Certain visible blood vessels
- Signs of photoaging
Unlike a traditional facial, an IPL photofacial uses light energy to target specific concerns beneath the surface of the skin.
What Can an IPL Photofacial Help Treat?
IPL can address several common signs of sun exposure and uneven skin tone.
Sun Damage
Repeated sun exposure can contribute to brown spots, uneven pigmentation and an overall uneven complexion. IPL may help reduce the appearance of certain sun-related pigmentation.
Brown Spots & Age Spots
IPL can target certain superficial pigmented areas. After treatment, treated pigmentation may temporarily become darker before gradually fading as the skin naturally clears it.
Freckles
Certain types of freckles and superficial pigmentation may respond to IPL treatment. Your provider will determine whether IPL is appropriate for your specific skin concern.
Facial Redness
IPL may help improve the appearance of certain types of facial redness by targeting superficial vascular concerns.
Uneven Skin Tone
By addressing certain pigmentation and redness concerns, IPL can help create a more even-looking complexion.
Visible Blood Vessels
Certain small, superficial blood vessels may respond to IPL. Treatment suitability depends on the appearance and location of the vessels.
How Do IPL Photofacial Treatments Work?
IPL uses broad-spectrum light energy that is absorbed by targeted chromophores in the skin.
Depending on the concern being treated, the light energy can target:
- Melanin associated with certain pigmentation
- Hemoglobin associated with certain superficial vascular concerns
The treated areas then gradually change and clear as the skin goes through its natural healing process.
At Purple Basil Medspa, your provider evaluates your skin and treatment goals before determining whether IPL is an appropriate option.
