Intense
Pulse Light rejuvenation treatments are designed to combat
the effects of aging and damaged skin in a softer, gentler
way. An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses
over the treatment area. The light energy stimulates the
production of collagen, and helps to remove brown spots,
sundamage, freckles, broken capillaries and rosacea. IPL
rejuvenation also reverses photo aging, minimizes the appearance
of enlarged pores and evens out overall skin tone. Treatments
are simple and safe with no downtime. A series of 3 or 5
treatments is necessary for optimal results. Some clients
see significant improvement with 3 treatments; others require
more. Follow-up treatments may be desired to maintain results.

What is a Photo Facial?
The Photo Facial procedure is a series of intense light pulses (IPL) that are absorbed by abnormally enlarged vessels or pigmentation as they make way through the skin's surface. The heat of the light pulses weakens the enlarged vessels or lesions which triggers normal healing progression. Lesions can form and will darken before being absorbed by the body or flaking off. This process causes no damage to the skin.

Photo Facial Treatment
The area to be treated is prepared by cleansing and applying a cool gel. The pulses of light (IPL) are then distributed to the treatment area. A cool compress may be applied to the area after the photo facial to sooth sensitive skin. Daily activities can be resumed immediately following a Photo Facial Procedure.
