Intense Pulse Light (IPL)/photo facial treatment is a non-invasive solution designed to target a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. Using broad-spectrum light, IPL penetrates the skin to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen production, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more youthful. At Natural Beauty Fifth Avenue, our expert team customizes photo facial treatments to your specific needs, providing noticeable results with minimal downtime. Reclaim your radiant, even-toned complexion with IPL, a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin.

What is IPL?

Candela Nordly’s IPL system emits multiple wavelengths of light energy that are selectively absorbed by the skin to target pigment and redness. This targeted energy heats the pigment or blood vessels, causing them to break down and be naturally removed by the body for a much more even skin complexion.

How Does IPL Work?

IPL works in a similar way that laser works. But how? Like with laser, IPL uses energy that is absorbed into the targeted cells in the skin that have pigmentation. Specifically, when the light energy comes in contact with the skin, it turns into heat energy which causes damage to specific areas of the skin like sun spots or age spots. Once these areas are heated up, the skin responds by creating newer healthier skin in the process.

What Should I Expect During My Treatment?

The area of treatment, typically the face, neck, chest, and hands are cleansed prior. The patient’s eyes are covered with eye protection and a cool ultrasound gel is applied. You will see bright flashes of lights as your provider treats you and your face may feel warm.

What Should I Expect After the Treatment?

The area treated will typically look more red and the spots will appear darker. In the next few days, this will lighten and your face will look more refreshed and brighter.

How Many IPL Treatments Will I Need?

We recommend a series of three treatments one month apart and maintenance every 6 months after that for best results.
