If you have any of the above concerns, the IPL Photo Facial is definitely one of the best solutions to keep those pesky issues at bay. The IPL machine uses a hand-held device to produce a light of high intensity to the skin. This light encourages the skin to restore itself by creating new skin cells, effectively rejuvenating the skin and inducing healing. Its built-in cooling device ensures that the treatment is gentle and comfortable enough for most skin types. The number of treatments will depend upon your skin condition, so be sure to consult your esthetician about how many treatments you will need. The goal is to get all the work done in as few treatments as possible. Your desired results and your skin’s response to the light will factor in the number of treatments you will need.
IPL can be utilized with extra procedures, for example, Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and other facial skin procedures that focus on the epidermis. As the profound layers of the skin are focused mainly, therefore, shallow treatments can also be performed securely. IPL Photofacial has no downtime.
