Add-Ons
What is Photorejuvination?
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure — called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.
IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin. When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the thing you’re being treated. Our IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time
Photofacials include a double cleansing of the skin before a pre-laser skin prep, then lasering. After a cold sponge removal, clinical serums are chosen based off of client treatment plan, and then applied with moisturizer and SPF.
Benefits of Photorejuvination:
- Fade or eliminate sun damage (brown spots).
- Clear away broken capillaries.
- Diminish hyperpigmented acne scars.
- Reduce present redness – such as rosacea.
- Improve skin tone & texture.
