You’ve likely tried plenty of creams and moisturizers that claim to treat hyperpigmentation, but there’s no procedure quite like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Laser Facial Rejuvenation. This laser treatment uses a bright beam of energy from an IPL machine to break down pigmentation within the skin - helping you say goodbye to dark spots, excess freckles, large pores and other complexion concerns. Here are a few things to know about this treatment:

What is IPL Laser Facial Rejuvenation?

Also known as a photo facial, this process uses broad-spectrum light to distribute heat into multiple layers of the skin - accelerating the healing process and treating a variety of skin concerns. During the treatment, our nurses pass a handheld device along each section of the face, delivering flashing wavelengths of light from the IPL machine that break up pigmentation within the skin. These light flashes may also be customized to heal specific complexion issues.

What are the Benefits of IPL Laser Facial Rejuvenation?

 

IPL Laser Facial Rejuvenation doesn’t just create a flawless, filter-like appearance for your complexion - it also treats a variety of skin concerns. These include:

  • Dark or brown spots caused by aging or sun exposure

  • Excessive freckles

  • Redness

  • Dullness

  • Acne scars

  • Uneven skin texture

  • Broken capillaries or spider veins

  • Fine lines, and other effects of aging

    And this non-invasive procedure is all done with simple bursts of light - no needles required!

IPL Laser Facial Rejuvenation FAQ

How long does the procedure take?

Typically between 20-30 minutes.

What does IPL Laser Facial Rejuvenation feel like?

Youth Haus uses numbing cream to ensure that you feel as little pain as possible. Aside from the occasional “hot” sensation on your skin, this treatment is simple and virtually painless.

 

When will I see results?

Since the light from the IPL machine penetrates multiple layers of skin, it may take up to 1-2 weeks before you see the full results of your facial treatment.

How long will results last?

Results are technically permanent. However - factors like excessive sun exposure, hormonal changes, or the natural aging process can occasionally cause dark spots to reoccur.

 

How do I maintain results?

Since sun exposure is the cause of 90% of skin concerns - including dark spots and fine lines - staying out of the sun as much as possible will make your results last significantly longer. This prevents new melanin from being deposited, and hyperpigmentation from reforming on the skin. Wear sunscreen, and keep up your daily skincare routine! Many people also like to receive an IPL Laser Facial Rejuvenation every 3-4 months to best upkeep and maintain results.

Is there downtime required?

Since the heat from the lasers stays in your skin for at least 24 hours after treatment, you need to avoid excess warmth to prevent the spread of bacteria. This means no gym, sauna, hot shower, sun exposure or anything that will heat up your skin. You should also avoid wearing makeup for up to 24 hours after your photofacial, and stay away from “intense” skincare products like Retinol or chemical peels for about 2 weeks after treatment.

 

How much does it cost?

This varies by individual, along with the areas of the body being treated.
