What is the IPL Photofacial?

IPL PHOTOFACIAL OVERVIEW

A spot-on laser treatment to reverse sun damage and other unwanted facial pigmentation… An ideal first step in reversing the color (red and brown) associated with sun damage with minimal downtime, photorejuvenation uses IPL (intense pulse light) to target and reduce the signs of sun damage and at the same time can also treat rosacea, reduce broken capillaries, and stimulate collagen. IPL is a gentle treatment yielding rapid results and allowing patients to get back to their normal activities quickly.

Am I a Good Candidate for the IPL Photofacial?

Selecting the Right Treatment for You

Photorejuvenation is an excellent treatment option for almost any patient. However, some patients may be better candidates for other treatments. During your consultation, we will make a recommendation that is best for your skin type and desired outcome. On average, IPL treatments are performed in a series of three to five sessions approximately three to four weeks apart. As with all treatments, individual results may vary.

IPL Photofacial Procedure

What to Expect During Your Treatment

IPL Photofacial is an easy treatment to undergo, with minimal discomfort. Some patients opt for a topical anesthetic, though treatment is quite tolerable without numbing and feels similar to a small rubber band snapping lightly against the skin.

IPL Photofacial Recovery

What should I expect after my treatments?

After the first treatment, our Edmonds IPL Photofacial patients can expect to see mild redness, darkening of brown spots, and mild swelling. These symptoms will resolve in several hours to one week. If you are treating rosacea, redness, and spider veins, you can expect swelling and possibly bruising, which can take up to two weeks to resolve. Ultimately, your skin will feel smoother and have a more even tone with a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing, brown spots, and fine lines that will be more visible after each treatment. Brown spots generally look darker for several days which can last up to ten days.

Additional Reading

The spots will then begin to clear and will generally resolve at one month. Remember, it takes an average of three to five treatments to clear brown spots and redness/spider veins. Do not worry if there is some unevenness after the first treatment. Makeup can be used starting right after the treatment, as long as it is applied and removed very gently.

***We recommend a DiamondGlow™ facial treatment 7-10 days after your laser treatment. Exfoliation will help to reduce the pigment and rehydrate the skin.

IPL PhotofacialFrequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to get Photorejuvenation treatments done?

IPL Photofacial treatments will make your skin more UV-light sensitive. Ideally, these treatments are best performed October – June, avoiding mid-summer months. We ask our patients to please wear Pūr Skin Clinic-approved, medical-grade physical sun protection every day, reapplying every two hours when outside and protect yourself with a hat to keep your skin safe from sun damage and skin cancers.

How many treatments are recommended?

On average, you can expect approximately 15-20% reduction in red/brown/sun damage with each treatment. Therefore we recommend a series of three to five treatments approximately one month apart. If you want to maintain collagen growth and reduction of sun damage, we recommend a treatment every six to 12 months. Other conditions are more variable. If you have rosacea and/or are very red, twice a year or more may be needed.

“Love this place! I have had the best Botox treatment ever administered by Denice and I’ve had microdermabrasion that was perfect for my sensitive skin. I’ve sent two of my friends there. I highly recommend PUR.”

Nicole B.

“Denice was highly recommended by a friend 10 years older than me. My friend looks beautiful while also natural and not like she’s “trying” to look younger. Denice listens to my priorities each time I see her and works very carefully to fulfill them. I consider Denice a tool in my beauty toolbox, like workouts and eating well. With her help, I feel more beautiful than ever!”
