If you are looking for a refreshed appearance and healthy skin with no downtime, a photofacial may be the perfect option.
Photofacial overview and benefits :
A photofacial is also called intense pulsed light (IPL). This is different from a laser, which only uses one wavelength of light. Instead, a photofacial uses what’s called broad-spectrum light, which reaches multiple layers of skin. It is applied with brief flashes, sometimes up to 2 or 3 on a single treatment area.
When the light flashes, it warms the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, as well as collagen growth underneath the skin. These two factors allow photo facials to address both the outermost surface of the skin as well as the tissues beneath it. This multi-faceted approach makes your skin look younger, smoother and more voluminous.
How photofacials work
During your photofacial, concentrated light penetrates into the skin, targeting pigment production in cells below the surface of your skin. This light energy turns into heat energy that destroys hyperactive melanin-producing cells, which reduces unwanted pigment abnormalities. It also boosts your skin's ability to fend off aging by activating particular genes that no cream or lotion can affect.
How Many Types of Photofacial
The two main types of technology used for photo facials are LED (light-emitting diode) and IPL(intense-pulsed light).
IPL Photofacial
- This treatment uses laser light to target the different pigmentation issues, such as brown spots, sun damage and red spots, and Rosacea.
- The bright light passes through the epidermis, drawing out the pigment-producing cells and then dispersing the uneven pigment. IPL Photofacial is used for treating areas of the body that includes the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, arms, legs etc.
Benefits of IPL Photofacial
- Brown and Red Spots
- Freckles
- Sun Damage
- Spider Veins
- Redness
- Rosacea
- Pigment Imperfections
LED Photofacial
It works by the emission of infrared light, causing heat, in different wavelengths/spectrums. This is found to have different skin care benefits. LED Photofacial therapy is more preferred by patients as it can fix skin problems such as acne and also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The different infrared light can be used to target specific areas and skin conditions.
- Red Infrared light is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
- Blue Infrared light is used to reduce acne and prevent breakouts by killing the acne-causing bacteria. It can also penetrate deep into the skin and treat the cystic acne.
Benefits of LED Photofacial
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
- Reduces the appearance of scars and other skin ailments, such as rosacea by deeply penetrating the skin and promoting the growth of skin cells
- Treating acne

What to do after your photofacial
To maximize the results of your photofacial and protect your skin as it undergoes its transformation, follow these aftercare tips:
Ice it
While your photofacial is painless, it may cause some redness and minor inflammation. These symptoms typically fade away after a few hours, but you can soothe your skin with cool compresses to give it a hand.
Keep it clean
The broadband light energy has prompted your skin to go to work clearing away bacteria and debris, so do your part by keeping the surface clean. Use a gentle cleanser twice a day.
Moisturize it
Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Use a quality moisturizer that supports the healing process. We can recommend specific products.
Protect it
The sun’s ultraviolet rays are your skin’s worst enemies, and they can be particularly damaging after your photofacial. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to deflect the UV rays and keep your skin safe.
What not to do after your photofacial
One of the best things about photofacials is that there’s no need to clear your schedule and isolate yourself while you heal. That said, there are a few precautions you should heed if you want to optimize your results.
Stay cool
Even if you’re wearing sunscreen, you should still avoid hanging out in direct sunlight for too long. In addition to the UV rays, sun exposure heats up your skin and your body, causing you to flush and sweat.
Staying cool also includes avoiding super-hot baths and showers. Keep the water warm or cool for the first two days after your treatment.
Skip strenuous activities
Change up your exercise routine for a couple of days, and switch out sprints and weight lifting for strolls and stretches. This helps you avoid overheating and causing your skin to become flushed.
Don’t pick
After a photofacial, it’s normal to see blemishes rise to the surface as your skin pushes out impurities. You may be tempted to help that process along by scraping, scratching, or picking at them, but that may cause a dark spot or scar to form.
Choose products wisely
The wrong skin care product can undo the effects of your photofacial. Specifically, you should avoid products that contain glycolic acid, retinoic acid, or tretinoin. We can help you find the right products for your skin.
