What is IPL Photofacial?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, and IPL Photofacial is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. It is also known as IPL skin rejuvenation or photorejuvenation. The treatment involves using a handheld device that emits high-intensity light pulses onto a particular are on the skin, which penetrate deep into the skin's layers without causing any damage to the surface.

The light emitted during an IPL Photofacial targets the pigments in the skin, such as melanin (responsible for pigmentation issues) and hemoglobin (responsible for redness and blood vessels). The light energy heats up these pigments, causing them to break down and be absorbed by the body's natural processes. This leads to a reduction in pigmentation issues, redness, and blood vessels, resulting in clearer, smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

The Procedure

The IPL Photofacial treatment at LK Beauty & Med Spa is a comprehensive and personalized process which begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced estheticians. During the consultation, the esthetician assesses the client's skin concerns, medical history, and skin type to determine if IPL Photofacial is the right treatment for them. They also explain the treatment process, its benefits and what to expect after the procedure.

On the day of the treatment, the client arrives at LK Beauty & Med Spa and is comfortably seated in a private treatment room. The esthetician cleanses the client's skin and applies a cooling gel to the treatment area to ensure maximum comfort during the procedure. The client is provided with protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the intense light.

The esthetician then uses the IPL device to deliver the light pulses onto the targeted areas of the skin. The light energy is absorbed by the pigments in the skin, leading to their breakdown and absorption by the body. The client may feel a warm sensation during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated and not considered painful. The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the treatment area and the skin concerns being addressed, but it usually takes around 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

After the treatment, the esthetician cleanses the skin again and applies a soothing moisturizer and sunblock to protect the skin from the sun. The client is provided with post-treatment care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and wearing sunblock regularly. The esthetician also schedules a follow-up appointment to monitor the progress of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.
