About the Treatment

What is IPL Photofacial?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment. It uses broad-spectrum light to target multiple skin concerns at the same time, without breaking the skin’s surface.

Unlike single-wavelength lasers, IPL delivers a range of light energy. It penetrates deep into the skin, breaking down discoloration and damaged vessels. At the same time, it triggers your body’s natural collagen production.

The result is clearer, more radiant, younger-looking skin. Most clients complete a short series of comfortable in-office sessions with no required recovery time.

Safe and effective for all skin types.
