IPL Photofacial

If you have sunspots, spider veins, hyperpigmentation, or a poor skin texture and tone, an IPL photofacial may be the ideal solution for revitalizing your complexion.

Using precise wavelengths, the IPL photofacial disperses pigmentation, allowing dark spots to flake off. This leaves the skin with a more even, consistent look that is youthful and engaging. While you will see improvement after just one treatment, clients can undergo multiple IPL sessions in order to optimize their final results.

What is an IPL Photofacial?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is an innovative, revolutionary treatment that brightens the skin tone, removing imperfections and irregularities. We use the most advanced lasers on the market to thoroughly and precisely improve the skin’s appearance.

With the IPL Photofacial, patients can avoid the longer downtimes associated with ablative lasers and chemical peels. The treatment takes around 20-30 minutes, with minor redness disappearing within a few hours. Clients can undergo an IPL photofacial every 21 days.

The IPL photofacial is effective for treating the following:

Spider veins
Mild facial scarring
Fine lines and creases
Hyperpigmentation
Age spots
Sunspots
Freckles
Broken veins
Brown spots
Facial redness and rosacea
Uneven or dull-looking skin

What are the advantages of an IPL photofacial?

Can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and shoulders
Minimal downtime or discomfort
Corrects sun damage, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation
Reduces skin redness
Helps prevent signs of aging in the future
Boosts satisfaction with one’s image

Who is a good candidate for the treatment?

The IPL photofacial is among the most versatile treatments on the market and can address a broad range of aesthetic concerns. We will meet with you at our state-of-the-art Oklahoma City location to conduct a thorough consultation and determine the best course of action for resolving your issues with your complexion.

Note that patients with a high Fitzpatrick scale rating or those who have undergone recent tanning should avoid IPL. IPL is contraindicated for those who have been prescribed Accutane in the past 6 months and for women who may be pregnant or nursing.

What happens after my treatment?

The recovery process after IPL involves the darkening of the spots to be removed as well as minor post-treatment swelling and redness. The dark spots will gradually flake off within 1-3 weeks, leaving behind a complexion that is brighter, clearer, and more attractive.

Patients can return to normal activities after their IPL photofacial session. However, they should take care to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunblock whenever going outside. We can recommend medical-grade sunscreen products to help support the longevity of your final results.

How is the IPL Photofacial procedure performed?

During treatment, your practitioner will direct the laser at the targeted areas decided upon during your consultation. Intense Pulsed Light is then emitted, which is received by the body as gentle heat. The pulses feel relatively painless, with the sensation described by many as a feeling of rubbing bands snapping lightly against the skin.
