What is a Photofacial like?
A photofacial, or intense pulsed light IPL treatment, is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns such as sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. The light energy penetrates the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting a more even complexion and improved skin texture.
