About IPL

Powered by Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) with SmartPulse™ technology, IPL treatments are a non-surgical way to deliver precise light through several layers of skin to correct imperfections quickly and effectively. You can achieve noticeably brighter, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin with each photorejuvenation treatment.

  • BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT ✓

    Discontinue retinol use at least 10 days prior to your treatment, and exfoliating active ingredients at least 7 days before.

    Wait to book an IPL photofacial if you’ve had any other facials — excluding HydraFacial™ — within the past 2 weeks.

    Please wait 4 weeks if you’ve recently been sunburned, and wait 2 weeks if you have a fresh tan — either sun-made or artificial.

  • AFTER YOUR TREATMENT ✓

    Limit sun exposure for a week after treatment and apply sunscreen daily.

    After your treatment, you may notice dark spots rise to the surface of your skin within the 1-2 days which is normal. Allow them to flake off on their own over the next 1-2 weeks to prevent hyperpigmentation. Avoid picking.

  • RESULTS ✓

    You’ll begin to see improvement within the first 2 weeks with full results about 1 month after your last treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

This process will restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colors and making it smoother, vibrant, and younger-looking. In addition, the photothermal energy eliminates the fine vessels that cause redness and reduces the unwanted melanin that produces pigmented lesions. The IPL machine is equipped with advanced cooling features, allowing the use of high-powered energy with minimal discomfort. IPL is a safe, effective approach to younger-looking skin.
