About This Deal
- One IPL Photofacial
- Type of laser: Lumenis Stellar M22 IPL
An IPL photo facial is a cosmetic procedure using intense pulsed light (IPL) to address various skin concerns like discoloration, redness, and sun damage. It's a non-surgical treatment that improves skin tone and texture by targeting melanin and hemoglobin in the skin.
How it works:
- Broad Spectrum Light: IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, unlike lasers which use a single wavelength, allowing it to target multiple skin imperfections simultaneously.
- Melanin and Hemoglobin: The light is absorbed by melanin (which causes pigmentation) and hemoglobin (which causes redness) in the skin.
- Heat and Degradation: The absorbed light energy heats these targets, causing them to break down and be naturally removed by the body.
- Collagen Stimulation: IPL also stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
What it can treat:
- *Pigmentation Issues: Sunspots, age spots, freckles, and other types of hyperpigmentation.
- Redness: Rosacea, broken capillaries, and spider veins.
- Acne: IPL can also help with acne bacteria and associated redness.
- General Skin Rejuvenation: Improved overall skin tone, texture, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Key differences from lasers:
- Light Type: IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, while lasers use a single wavelength.
- Targeting: IPL can target multiple issues at once, while lasers are often more specific.
- Versatility: IPL is versatile and can be customized to treat different skin conditions.
- Safety: IPL is generally considered safe for lighter skin types (I-IV), while lasers like ND:Yag and PicoSure are safe for all skin types.
Considerations:
- Skin Type: IPL is generally best suited for lighter skin types.
- Side Effects: Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising are possible, but usually resolve quickly.
- Series of Treatments: Multiple treatments are typically needed to achieve optimal results, with each session lasting 20 minutes to an hour.
