Illuminate Your Skin with A Youthful Glow

Join us in our comfortable, beachside offices to discover the transformative power of IPL (Intense Pulse Light) PhotoFacial. This is a highly popular and sought-after, minimal downtime treatment at Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa. Our innovative PhotoFacial addresses myriad common concerns. It can help correct pigment changes, reduce redness associated with facial flushing and rosacea, and enhance overall skin texture.

What Can the IPL PhotoFacial Do for You?

IPL PhotoFacial is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes light energy from a combination of wavelengths to penetrate deep into the dermis, the middle layer of your skin. This allows your doctor to work on targeting specific cells without damaging the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).

This makes it an ideal solution for reducing hyperpigmentation, reversing signs of sun damage, improving redness associated with rosacea, refining skin texture, and stimulating collagen production. The result? Healthier, glowing skin!

Key Benefits of IPL PhotoFacial

Reduction of Hyperpigmentation: Targets and corrects age spots, freckles, and other forms of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Improvement of Rosacea-Associated Redness: Addresses redness and flushing associated with rosacea, promoting a more even skin tone.
Enhancement of Skin Texture: Improves overall skin texture, reducing pore size and creating a smoother appearance.
Stimulation of Collagen Production: The gentle heat from IPL PhotoFacial stimulates collagen production, contributing to a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

What to Expect from the IPL PhotoFacial Treatment Process

Consultation

When you schedule a consultation with the Changes team, your experienced laser nurse will first help your surgeon determine if IPL PhotoFacial is the right fit for your skin concerns.

Procedure

The IPL PhotoFacial laser emits light waves across a range of lengths, targeting melanin or hemoglobin cells responsible for pigmentation and redness. The laser light passes through the outer layer of the skin, gently heating the dermal cells to stimulate collagen production.

Minimal Discomfort

Patients may experience only minimal redness and slight swelling immediately after the procedure, with no damage to the skin's surface.

Multiple Sessions

Typically, 3 to 5 treatments are recommended for maximum effectiveness. The number of sessions may vary based on individual skin type and color.

Post-Treatment Changes

After the IPL PhotoFacial, you may notice darkening of sun/age spots and slight reddening of the surrounding skin. Do not worry! This redness usually subsides within a couple of hours. Over the next 5 to 10 days, darkened spots will fade and flake right off.

Sun Protection

Using sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher is crucial to minimize sun damage and prevent the appearance of new sunspots.

Heal Your Skin at the Cellular Level

The IPL PhotoFacial laser device targets specific cells by emitting light waves that are absorbed by melanin or hemoglobin cells. The absorbed light damages these cells, leading to their absorption by the body.

This treatment also increases collagen production by gently heating the dermal cells, creating a long-term effect of a more youthful and smooth skin texture.
