There are two primary types of photofacials (or fotofacials), LED and intense pulsed light (IPL).
IPL photofacials are both more common and more effective. IPL photofacials can treat:
The length of your IPL photofacial will vary depending on what skin conditions are being treated. Most photofacials fall somewhere between 30 – 45 minutes. During the non-invasive procedure, your healthcare provider will use a device to administer high-energy broadband light to your face. This light targets pigmentation and eliminates it, which reduces spots and wrinkles. As a positive side-effect, the intense pulsed light also stimulates collagen. When collagen is stimulated, your skin becomes tighter, supple and more youthful.
During the procedure, you will likely be provided with a covering to shield your eyes. The IPL can get hot, so most machines feature a built-in cooling fan. Your doctor may also provide a topical anesthetic to make the experience more pleasant.
An experienced provider can recommend a photofacial treatment plan that's tailored to suit your needs. Get started with a photofacial consultation: please call (408) 946-9453 or contact us online.
