What to Expect During an IPL Photofacial

The acronym IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This is a popular skin treatment that uses certain wavelengths of intense light emitted as powerful pulses with a controlled application device to help provide treatment for a variety of unwanted skin conditions. One of the most popular treatments for IPL is found in wrinkle depth reduction. A very common spa term for this treatment is called photofacial, due to the fact that it is similar in anti-aging benefits to standard facials yet is widely considered to be more advanced and effective.

What to Expect During a Photofacial

Before your treatment, you may be asked a few questions about your skin. There might also be a few forms to sign.

The treatment involves you relaxing in a chair or on a spa table as the technician applies light pulses to various areas of your face.

The light will help the body increase its production of collagen and elastin.

Any discoloration (age spots) in the skin is usually eliminated by the body or removed by the laser during the procedure in a process called sloughing.

A typical treatment can range from anywhere between 15-to-30 minutes and sometimes longer.

Regarding pain from the light: most people say that it feels like you are being pinched. Some people say that it feels anywhere from a moderate stinging sensation to having a very thin rubber band flicked against your skin.

If you have age spots (pigments), they will usually peel and flake away in a few days following the treatment.

Wrinkles and fine lines will gradually lessen as the skin produces more collagen and elastin to make the surface more firm.

Treatments are generally advised in sets of 4-6 with about 3-4 weeks of recovery time in between treatments.

Healing time takes somewhere around a week’s time with some mild redness and peeling.
