What is IPL / Photofacial and How Does it Work?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) / Photofacial uses a broad spectrum of light to target and treat various skin concerns. The light energy is absorbed by the skin's pigmentation, breaking down excess pigment and improving skin tone. IPL also stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity over time. The treatment is customizable to your skin type and concerns, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals. It’s a non-invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime, offering a convenient solution for busy people seeking skin rejuvenation.
