PhotoFacial in Ottawa with Dr. Ian MacArthur
How Does Photofacial IPL Work?
Photofacial IPL works by delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin. This light penetrates deep layers of the skin, targeting melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) and hemoglobin (which causes redness). The heat generated by the light causes the pigmented areas and blood vessels to break down, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Over a series of treatments, the skin gradually becomes clearer, smoother, and more even-toned.
Skin Health Benefits of Photofacial IPL:
IPL is highly effective at reducing the appearance of sunspots, freckles, and other sun-induced pigmentation.
IPL targets the blood vessels responsible for redness, helping to reduce the symptoms of rosacea.
It addresses hyperpigmentation, age spots, and other discolorations, leading to a more uniform skin tone.
The heat generated during the treatment stimulates collagen production, which helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Each IPL session can be tailored to your unique skin concerns, ensuring the best possible results.
What to Expect During Your Photofacial IPL Treatment
Before the treatment begins, your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied to the treatment area to protect your skin and enhance your comfort. One of our nurses will provide you with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the intense light.
During the procedure, the IPL device will be moved across your skin, delivering precise pulses of light to the targeted areas. You may feel a slight warming or tingling sensation, similar to the snap of a rubber band against your skin. The entire treatment typically takes 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Care & Results
After your Photofacial IPL session, you might experience mild redness or a slight sunburn-like sensation, which usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Over the next few days, you may notice some darkening of pigmented spots, which is a sign that the treatment is working. These spots will flake off naturally, revealing clearer skin beneath.
A series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
