Patients with dark tans or with melasma are not good candidates. The light rays are attracted to pigment, and as a result darker skin tones may become discolored and melasma patches may darken. During your consult at New England Wellness Center your provider will assess and determine if a photofacial is the best treatment for your personal aesthetic goals.
The IPL Photofacial treatment is generally not considered painful, though some may find it mildly uncomfortable, likening the sensation to a rubber band snap against the skin. The duration of an IPL session varies by treatment area, with facial procedures lasting up to 45 minutes and possibly resulting in temporary redness or puffiness. However, there's no downtime required after treatment, allowing patients to resume their usual skin care routines immediately.
The outcomes of a Photofacial continue to enhance over time, with final results typically visible three months post-treatment. To ensure these results last, diligent sun protection and ongoing skin care are crucial. Annually repeating the treatment series is recommended for maintaining optimal effects. Be mindful that sunburns and excessive sun exposure can revive previous spots and freckles, highlighting the importance of regular sunscreen application.
IPL Photofacial at New England Wellness Center utilizes intense pulsed light technology to target and diminish the appearance of age spots, freckles, and other pigmentation irregularities, as well as reduce visible signs of rosacea and broken capillaries. This advanced treatment promotes collagen production, resulting in tighter, more youthful skin. It’s ideal for enhancing the complexion of the face, décolleté, and hands, offering a non-invasive solution for a radiant and even skin tone.
