The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a non-surgical treatment that improves the skin tone and texture of the face. The IPL is much like a laser but produces light of a broad spectrum instead of only one wavelength. IPL energy includes all of the light wavelengths that are optimal for removing a variety of discolored skin lesions including red and blue excess blood vessels and brown age spots. The IPL also produces infra-red energy, which can stimulate the skin to produce more collagen. Wrinkles will become smoother and pores will shrink. In addition to the face, the neck and upper chest areas can also be treated.

IPL Photofacial treatments are gentle and minimally painful (no anesthesia is needed). There is no "down time" after treatment, only temporary redness that fades within hours. Patients receiving Photofacial treatments do not need to take any time off from their usual activities. Improvement of age spots and dilated blood vessels can be seen after only one treatment (see photos) and skin texture progressively improves with additional treatments. IPL Photofacials are one of the most effective treatments for facial redness due to rosacea.
