Whether you're troubled by sun damage or struggling with persistent redness and rosacea, an IPL Photofacial offers a comprehensive solution for achieving clearer, more even-toned skin. With its proven efficacy and minimal downtime, it remains a top choice for individuals seeking lasting improvement in skin tone and texture.

Time Frame Post-Treatment Reactions and Care
Immediate Post treatment Immediately after IPL treatment, you may experience some redness and mild swelling in the treated areas, similar to a slight sunburn. Some individuals may also notice a temporary darkening of pigmented spots or a mild stinging sensation. However, these effects are usually mild and subside within a few hours.
First 24 to 72 Hours In the first 24 to 72 hours post-treatment, any initial redness and swelling tend to diminish significantly. Some patients may experience mild flaking or peeling of the skin as it begins to shed dead and damaged cells. It's essential to avoid excessive sun exposure during this time and follow any post-treatment skincare recommendations provided by your healthcare provider.
One Week After By the end of the first week, most patients can expect any residual redness or swelling to have subsided completely. The skin typically returns to its normal appearance, and any temporary side effects, such as peeling or darkening of pigmented spots, resolve. Patients can usually resume their regular skincare and makeup routines without any restrictions.
