How does IPL Therapy Work?
IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin to even out your skin tone. When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the issue you’re being treated for. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. IPL may help if you have red, brown, or splotchy skin because of a health condition.

After your Photofacial:
It may feel like you have a sunburn for 4-6 hours after you’re finished. Ice packs or a cool washcloth can help you feel better. Your skin may be red or bruised for a day or two. Some of your brown spots may get darker, but they should peel off within a few weeks.
While you heal:
- Tan in the sun, in a tanning bed, or with tanning creams for 4 weeks before treatment
- Wax, or get a chemical peel or collagen shots for 2 weeks before
- Wear perfume, makeup, deodorant, or any skin irritants
- Take aspirin or another drug that can make you bleed more
- Take any medication that will make you sun-sensitive (for example, the antibiotic doxycycline)
