IPL Photofacial: What Is It & Why Is It So Popular?
The IPL(Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial uses broad-spectrum light to address common pigment and texture concerns like dark spots, redness, and fine lines. It works by emitting pulses of light at varying wavelengths to target pigment and vascular lesions while stimulating collagen production to improve texture and elasticity.
It’s become a popular treatment because it’s non-invasive, sessions are quick, there’s minimal downtime, and with multiple sessions, most patients see significant improvement in the tone and texture of their skin.
