What is Photofacial?
A photofacial is a cosmetic procedure that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target and reduce various skin issues such as sun damage, age spots, redness, and vascular lesions, resulting in improved skin tone and texture.
The Mechanism of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) in Photofacial Treatment
IPL operates by directing light energy towards the brown and red pigments present in the skin. This targeted energy absorption causes these pigments to heat up, leading to their fragmentation and subsequent dissolution or drying, resulting in natural shedding over approximately 7-10 days. Importantly, skin cells lacking pigment remain unaffected by this light energy. IPL is a safe and non-invasive procedure, customized to each patient's specific skin characteristics.
