Photofacial & IPL Treatments Oakville

IPL, also called Photofacials, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilizes intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to improve the appearance of the skin. This non-invasive method is used to treat a variety of skin concerns such as sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, and rosacea. During the procedure, a handheld device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin and target pigmented cells, collagen, and blood vessels. This results in a more even skin tone, reduction in redness, and an overall improvement in skin texture. Photofacials offer several benefits such as quick treatment time, minimal discomfort, and no downtime. However, it’s important to work with a trained professional to ensure safety and effectiveness. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin and enhance your overall appearance, consider Photofacials as a potential option. Contact us for a free consultation

How is it done?

During a photofacial treatment, the skin is first cleansed and protective goggles are placed over your eyes. Ultrasound gel is applied to the skin, and then a handheld device is used to deliver pulses of light to the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treated area.

What kind of aftercare is involved?

After a photofacial treatment, you should avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin. You may experience some redness and swelling for a few days, so it’s important to avoid activities that could irritate your skin during this time. Chemical and physical exfoliants like Retinol, AHAs or scrubs should be avoided in the treatment area for one week.
