Patients usually have very minimal downtime with an IPL photofacial. Their skin will appear a little swollen and pink. This will decrease naturally in about a day and, if preferred, you can conceal the redness with cosmetic makeup. Versailles Medical Spa suggests you apply its very own Kurative cream on the treated skin to decrease any irritation, discoloration and speed healing. During your consultation, the medical provider will provide detailed instructions about post-treatment care. Over several days, the sun damage and other irregularities under the skin will rise to the surface and then start to flake away. It’s important to use Versailles Medical Spa’s clinically proven 50+ SPF protection and not to pick at the flaking skin. While you will have visible results after the first treatment, your complexion will look even better after several IPL sessions. We recommend scheduling approximately 3-6 sessions about once a month at Versailles Medical Spa.
An IPL photofacial is done at Versailles Medical Spa’s office, and it takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the area that is being treated. To start the IPL facial, the medical provider will prep the skin and cleanse if necessary, before covering your eyes with protective laser shields. The IPL photofacial is administered using a handheld device that passes over the skin while emitting laser energy pulses. While some patients may feel some discomfort during the IPL, it is generally bearable because of the advanced laser technology used.
If you didn’t think much about your skin’s health as a child, you might have issues with sun-damaged skin, such as noticeable hyperpigmentation. Because of this, you may want to learn about different treatments that help rejuvenate your skin.
