When it comes to getting major results with little to no downtime, the IPL photofacial is where it’s at! This light-based treatment is one of the most powerful ways to even skin pigmentation and reduce redness, dark spots, and discoloration. Combine these effects with little to no downtime, and you’ll see why the IPL photofacial is among our most popular treatments at Whole Health MediSpa.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the top reasons the IPL photofacial is one of my favourites…

1. PIGMENTATION - IPL will reduce concerns when it comes to pigmentation. Our certified IPL technician uses an applicator that sends powerful pulses of light to your skin, where it’s absorbed by melanin and blood vessels. This will break down excess pigmentation and cause your body to naturally lift it out of the skin. (Think freckles, sun spots, age spots, rosacea, brown patches and melasma).

2. RESULTS - they are long lasting! After a full series of treatments your results can last years. Many people often do touch-up treatments yearly to maintain and enjoy their clearest and most evenly pigmented skin.

3. QUICK - treatments are quick, you don’t have to give up multiple hours of your day to have the treatments. On average 30-60 minutes, depending on area being treated, is what you can expect. Little to no prep is required prior to your treatment other than ensuring you avoid sun exposure for a minimum of two weeks prior while wearing your SPF.

4. DOWN TIME - other than some mild redness that typically resolves quickly, you can return to your regular daily activities soon after your treatment. Diligent application of medical grade SPF (which we provide to you) will be a must. Some initial darkening of pigment spots a few days after your treatment is normal, and part of the process. These spots will soon fade away.
