A photofacial is a generic term for a skin treatment that uses some form of light-based technology. The two main types of photofacials rely on LED (light-emitting diode) and IPL (intense pulsed light) to treat skin woes. Generally, when people refer to photofacials, they’re talking about IPL photofacials, which are also called intense pulsed light therapy, photo rejuvenation, BBL therapy, or broadband light therapy. An IPL photofacial is a non-invasive, non-ablative treatment that uses high-intensity pulses of visible light to improve such skin conditions as fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, age spots, rosacea, port-wine stains, and facial veins. It may also help treat mild to moderate acne and stretch marks, and it spurs collagen production.
Our treatments offer unique and complete solutions to reducing the appearance of wrinkles in a safe, non-surgical and highly effective way. Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), our wrinkle treatments target the aging issue at its source to achieve younger looking skin and promote lasting results.

Benefits and Uses
IPL Treatments give a younger, glowing look to your skin. It simultaneously treats the three main elements of sun-damaged, environmentally polluted and aging skin by coagulating blood vessels, eliminating pigmented spots and improving skin texture. IP Treatments are suitable for the face, neck, chest and hands; treating sun spots, small dilated blood vessels called telangiectasias; and skin textural changes such as small lines and enlarged pores. There are no signs of skin irritation after the treatment.
Pulsed light treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions is rapidly becoming the therapy for people seeking lesions, telangiectasia, erythema, rosacea and broken capillaries by efficiently coagulating and eliminating small blood vessels. Pulsed light has also been proven an effective, safe, reliable and fast treatment for a range of superficial pigmented lesions such as dyschromia, solar lentigo, mottled pigmentation and melasma.
