What is IPL PhotoFacial?

IPL photofacial is a popular cosmetic treatment that uses intense pulsed light to help improve the appearance of skin imperfections such as sun damage, age spots, and fine lines. This non-invasive treatment delivers light to the skin, which helps break up the pigment and stimulate the production of new, healthy skin cells. IPL photofacial is generally painless and requires little to no downtime, making it an excellent option for those looking to improve the overall appearance of their skin without undergoing invasive procedures. Patients can see a noticeable improvement in their skin’s texture, tone, and clarity with just a few treatments.

 

IPL PHOTOFACIAL FOR FACE IN TORRANCE

As we age, our skin undergoes changes that can result in blemishes and imperfections, making us look older than we feel. At Skin Works, we understand the discomfort and distress of feeling uncomfortable in your skin. Fortunately, we offer a solution to this problem by selecting laser treatments and light therapy, including IPL Photofacial. Our IPL treatment can help eliminate signs of aging and other facial imperfections, giving you a renewed and revitalized appearance. This affordable and non-invasive treatment is a great way to restore your confidence and feel great in your skin again.

IPL FACIAL FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION

We use IPL Photofacial as a rejuvenation treatment and utilize intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat various skin issues effectively. IPL works by penetrating the epidermis with bright light, which helps to bring pigment cells to the surface and even out uneven pigmentation. IPL Photofacial can be used to fix pigmentation on various body areas, including the face, neck, shoulders, chest, back, arms, legs, and more. With its versatility and effectiveness, IPL Photofacial is a popular choice for those seeking to improve the appearance of their skin.

 

HOW DOES IPL WORK?

 

Over time, the layers of our skin can begin to degrade due to various factors such as age, environmental stressors, and more. This can lead to thin, wrinkly, coarse, and mottled skin, which can be frustrating. Thankfully, photofacials offer a gentle and safe solution to treat these blemishes, with long-term benefits for skin health and thickness.

The IPL treatment used in photofacials penetrates the skin’s inner layers to repair damage and prevent future signs of aging. This process involves exfoliating the top layer of skin to reveal newer cells, stimulating collagen formation to create a more youthful structure, and rejuvenating damaged skin. After just three to four photofacials per year, your skin cells can start behaving as if they were younger, leading to a more vibrant and refreshed appearance.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR IPL?

 

If you want to rejuvenate your skin due to blemishes caused by environmental factors or heredity or wish to enhance your skin’s appearance, IPL therapy may be the ideal solution. However, it’s important to note that this treatment best suits individuals who meet specific criteria.

Firstly, being in good shape ensures your body can handle the treatment effectively. Additionally, you mustn’t be currently taking any skin medications and are not pregnant. Finally, it’s essential to have reasonable expectations and a commitment to sticking to the treatment plan to achieve the desired results. If you meet these criteria, IPL therapy may be a great option to achieve the beautiful, radiant skin you’ve dreamed of.

 

 

WHEN DO I SEE IPL RESULTS?

 

While it’s normal to see some skin discoloration and blemishes a few days after your initial IPL session, you can expect your skin to begin feeling and appearing smoother immediately. Over the following one to two weeks, you’ll notice a significant improvement in the clarity and tone of your skin.

During this time, you may notice that blemishes darken before they rise to the skin’s surface and eventually fade away as part of the skin’s natural exfoliation process. You’ll also see that your skin feels and looks tighter and that wrinkles and fine lines gradually fade. With continued treatment and proper skincare, you can expect to achieve the beautiful, healthy-looking skin you’ve been hoping for.

HOW MUCH DOES IPL PHOTOFACIAL COST?

The cost of IPL Photofacial treatment can depend on various factors, such as the clinic’s location, treatment area, technician’s experience, and the number of treatments required to achieve optimal results. In Los Angeles, the cost of IPL Photofacial treatments typically ranges between $300 and $700 per session. However, most patients require multiple sessions, so the total cost of treatment may be higher.
