What a photofacial helps
A photofacial uses intense pulsed light (IPL) or similar light technology to target pigment and small visible blood vessels. It can help sun spots, redness and uneven tone.
Light treatments must be used carefully on darker skin types, so suitability is checked first.
How it works
Light pulses are delivered through a handpiece, with filters chosen for your concern.
- Pigment: sun spots and freckles darken and then flake off
- Redness: small visible vessels can fade
- Course: usually a few sessions a few weeks apart
- Sun protection: essential before and after
