Photo Facial: Light-Based Skin Rejuvenation

Photo facial treatments harness the power of light to address various skin concerns, from sun damage and pigmentation to fine lines and acne. Our clinic offers both LED and IPL technologies, allowing us to customize treatment to your specific skin needs and goals.

Understanding Photo Facial Technologies

LED Photo Facials use narrow-spectrum light at specific wavelengths:

  • Red Light - Stimulates collagen production for anti-aging benefits
  • Blue Light - Kills acne-causing bacteria
  • Combination - Addresses multiple concerns simultaneously

IPL Photo Facials deliver intense pulsed light to target:

  • Pigmentation - Brown spots and sun damage
  • Vascular Issues - Broken capillaries and redness
  • Texture - Stimulates collagen remodeling

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Facial

What is the difference between LED and IPL photo facials?

LED photo facials use narrow spectrum light and are painless, focusing on collagen stimulation and acne treatment. IPL uses intense pulsed light at higher energy levels to treat pigmentation, broken capillaries, and redness more aggressively.

Is a photo facial painful?

LED photo facials are completely painless and relaxing. IPL treatments may cause mild discomfort, often described as a rubber band snap, but cooling systems help minimize any sensation.

How many sessions do I need?

Most patients benefit from 4-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 1-2 months help sustain results.

What is the downtime after a photo facial?

LED photo facials have zero downtime. IPL treatments may cause temporary redness and darkening of pigmented spots for 3-7 days before they flake off naturally.

Can photo facials help with acne?

Yes, LED photo facials with blue light therapy effectively kill acne-causing bacteria, while red light promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
