IPL PhotoFacial

An IPL PhotoFacial treatment is a laser skin care procedure that uses intense pulsed light energy to treat problem skin. The IPL technology penetrates into the deepest skin layers, and has proven effective against acne, wrinkles, rosacea, large pores, sun damage and age spots. IPL Photofacials stimulate new collagen growth and jumpstart the skin's ability to eliminate the top layers of damaged, exposed skin. IPL Photofacial is a low-risk, effective procedure that is also one of the newest skin rejuvenation treatments on the market.
