IPL Photofacial treatments use light energy to heat up the uppermost layers of your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production while the treated skin cells recover from the therapy. It is commonly used on the face, neck, hands, and décolletage to restore a youthful and smooth appearance to the skin. Collagen and elastin are responsible for making the skin appear more plump and smooth, and as our bodies age, we produce less and less collagen and elastin. IPL Photofacial therapies work by reversing those effects caused by aging while also evening out the overall skin tone and texture, reducing the appearance of age/sun spots or any other hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and any other imperfections visible on the surface of the skin. The primary function of IPL Photofacials is to reverse the effects that aging has had on the skin to provide patients with youthful, radiant skin.

Once the final desired results provided by IPL Photofacial treatments are attained, those results will typically last for around a year but can last even longer with proper care and maintenance. To reach those final desired results, multiple sessions are usually necessary, especially for cases that are treating hyperpigmentation or deeper wrinkles. Due to IPL Photofacial treatments being non-invasive, the skin does not need a ton of time in between sessions to heal, requiring only about four weeks between sessions. Many people only require 2 to 3 sessions before they reach their goal results, so you can have your desired results within only a couple of months. Once the initial treatments are complete, it is often recommended that you receive 1 to 2 treatments annually to maintain your desired results.

Since IPL Photofacial treatments use light energy to gently heat the layers of skin, it is common for your skin to appear almost as if you have a sunburn immediately following the treatment, but this reaction should only last for a few hours. You may also experience some mild redness on the treated areas for several days, and treated hyperpigmented spots may appear a bit darker for those few days, but within a few weeks, those spots will naturally peel and dissipate on their own. The desired results from the treatments will start to take effect within one or two weeks following the treatment, with the fading of sun/age spots, a reduction of visible blood vessels or rosacea, and an overall improvement in the tone and texture of the treated skin.

IPL Photofacial therapies and microneedling are fairly different procedures, but both are considered non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments. IPL Photofacials are completely non-invasive, only using gentle heating to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. Microneedling is minimally invasive, consisting of a roller covered in tiny needles to cause micro wounds on the surface of the skin, also stimulating the skin to produce more collagen and elastin as it goes through the healing process. IPL Photofacial treatments tend to be a bit quicker in providing the desired results and also offer longer-lasting results than microneedling but are much more effective at treating concerns that are related to skin tone rather than texture. Microneedling is the more effective option two for those who are interested in wrinkle reduction and overall smoothening of the skin texture.
