What is an IPL photofacial?

An IPL photofacial is a noninvasive dermal treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to address a wide variety of skin imperfections. It’s most notably used to eliminate sun damage that was caused by years of routine UV exposure. This innovative technology has helped countless men and women to achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion. All IPL treatments are performed on-site at our Beverly Hills, CA office, and take about 15 minutes per target area.

What to expect after an IPL photofacial

Once your IPL treatment is complete, you will be free to go home. There is no downtime associated with this procedure, but we do recommend that you refrain from direct sun exposure to guard your skin from unintended damage. The harsh UV rays can reverse your results. It’s also normal to experience redness and mild swelling after your procedure. These symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter anti-inflammatories. Over the next few days, the treated area will start to flake. This is the natural rejuvenation process that was prompted by the IPL treatment. It’s important to not peel off the skin to prevent scarring. Once your skin heals, results will reveal a radiant complexion that is supple and smooth.

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments needed to attain your results will depend on the level of sun damage. This varies for everyone. On average, Dr. Prokupek usually recommends 3 – 6 IPL sessions for the best outcomes. During your initial consultation, he can examine your skin and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine how many treatments are needed. He can also discuss different skin care products that can help maintain the health of your skin and protect against future sun damage.
