What Is IPL? What Is a Photofacial?

IPL, also known as an IPL photofacial in Houston, uses short blasts of concentrated light energy to penetrate just below the skin’s surface and correct issues such as:

Sun spots and freckles
Age spots
Visible veins and capillaries
Pigmentation irregularities
Dark spots
Melasma
Rosacea

How Does IPL Work?

The light energy from the device is broad-spectrum rather than the concentrated beam used in laser treatments. The light enters the skin and is attracted to darker pigment, which helps break up and remove unwanted pigmentation and coloring. The laser also triggers the production of collagen, providing a tightening and firming effect, and helps clean up broken and dilated blood vessels.

What Happens After an IPL Treatment?

After your treatment, your skin will appear sunburned. Over the following days, sun spots, age spots, or other skin flaws will begin to darken and flake off, revealing new, unblemished skin.

How Many IPL Treatments Will I Need for Optimal Results?

Due to the minimally invasive nature of this treatment, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results. The number of treatments you need will depend on the issues being addressed and your ultimate aesthetic goals.

Most people who need a comprehensive skin renewal plan will undergo 3 to 5 treatments, spaced at 4-week intervals. Each treatment builds on the result of the last, with your skin improving consistently over time.

What Does IPL Treatment Feel Like?

While “short blasts of concentrated light energy” may sound painful, our IPL photofacial in Houston is a non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime. You will rest in a comfortable treatment chair and wear eye protection. Most patients experience a gentle snap against the skin. This is typically only mildly uncomfortable and not difficult to tolerate. Most patients do not require a topical anesthetic, but we can offer it upon request. A photofacial takes approximately 20 minutes, after which you can return to work or your other usual activities without concern. You can apply makeup to hide any redness from the treatment.
