Procedure Details

​

IPL Photofacial is a simple treatment that involves having short bursts of Intense light applied to the skin in a systematic manner. Most patients notice minimal pain as the application involves a cooling element designed for optimal comfort.

​

During your procedure your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the treatment. Once the treatment is complete your skincare therapist will apply a calming gel to aid in recovery.

Preparation & Recovery​

​

Before your procedure you will be asked to stop all retinol or vitamin a products for 24 - 48 hours.

 

After your treatment you will be told to  apply SPF daily to prevent sun damage. Only use gentle skincare products after this treatment. A few days after your treatment you should expect to have some light scabbing and flaking of the skin. You must not pick these scabs or you run the risk of scarring. Microdermabrasion treatment is recommended 3 weeks after treatment.
