Photofacial
IPL Treatment for Selected Pigmentation, Redness & Photodamage
A photofacial is a light-based treatment, most commonly using intense pulsed light (IPL), for selected pigmentation and vascular concerns. At Ageology, an IPL photofacial may be considered for sunspots, uneven pigmentation, facial redness or visible superficial vessels after assessment.
What is a Photofacial Treatment?
IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light rather than one laser wavelength. Filters and settings are selected according to the target, such as pigment or superficial vascular redness.
Photofacial treatment should not be described as having zero downtime or producing instant, predictable results.
