IPL Photofacial
Restore Radiance with an IPL Photofacial Treatment
Ideal Candidates for an IPL photofacial are those with visible sun damage, age spots, generalized redness, or broken capillaries. It’s suitable for individuals seeking to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance. You must avoid sun exposure and tanning for 2 weeks before an IPL treatment to reduce the risk of skin injury.
What Is IPL Photofacial?
An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment designed to rejuvenate your complexion by targeting various skin concerns, including pigmentation, sun damage, and vascular lesions. This procedure uses broad-spectrum light to penetrate the skin at different depths, addressing issues such as age spots, redness, and broken capillaries.
How Is It Done?
Preparation: We begin by cleansing your skin and applying a soothing cooling gel to enhance comfort and optimize light absorption.
Procedure: The Harmony IPL delivers precise pulses of light that penetrate different skin layers. This light energy targets and breaks down unwanted pigment and blood vessels, promoting an even, more radiant skin tone. You may feel a snapping sensation as the IPL reaches its target. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, depending upon the area being treated.
Post-Treatment: You may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically resolves quickly. As your skin heals, you'll notice a significant improvement in texture and clarity.

Number Of Treatments
Typically, 3 IPL photofacial treatments are recommended for optimal results. The exact number may vary based on individual skin concerns and goals. Treatments are usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and respond effectively. Our experts at espritMD will tailor a treatment plan to suit your specific needs and ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.
Pain Associated
An IPL photofacial is generally well-tolerated and is described by many as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin during the treatment. To ensure comfort, a cooling gel is applied, and most clients find the procedure manageable with minimal discomfort.
Down Time & Side Effects
Downtime after an IPL photofacial is minimal. You might experience mild redness and slight swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours to a couple of days. Your skin may feel sensitive, and pigmentation may darken before improving. Most clients resume normal activities immediately but should avoid direct sun exposure and follow post-treatment care instructions for best results.
