Reveal Clearer, More Radiant Skin Tone
IPL photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to improve the appearance of sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and other signs of aging. At Northwest, we use the Spectrum laser to deliver pulses of light that target pigment and vascular irregularities without harming the surrounding skin. Over time, treated areas gradually fade, revealing a more even, radiant complexion. IPL is safe for most skin types and ideal for the face, neck, chest, and hands—anywhere sun damage tends to show.
IPL Photofacial Treats:
- Sunspots and age spots on the face and body
- Redness and visible capillaries from rosacea
- Uneven skin tone and blotchiness
- Brown pigmentation and melasma
- Acne-related redness and inflammation
- Dull skin lacking radiance
- Freckles and other sun-induced discoloration
How Does Spectrum IPL Photofacial Work?
The Spectrum IPL photofacial works by delivering intense pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin. This light targets pigment and vascular irregularities, like brown spots or visible blood vessels, without damaging surrounding tissue. The heat from the light breaks down unwanted pigment and stimulates collagen production.
Over time, the body naturally eliminates the treated pigment or vessels, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin. We use the Spectrum laser for customizable treatments that are safe and effective.
Advantages of Spectrum IPL Photofacial:
- Treat multiple skin concerns in one session
- Target pigmentation without harming the surrounding tissue
- Stimulate natural collagen production
- Minimal downtime and quick recovery
- Gradual, natural-looking improvements
- Safe and effective for many skin types
- Customizable settings for precise treatments
Your IPL Photofacial Session
We’ll begin by gently cleansing your skin and applying a cool gel to enhance comfort. You’ll wear protective eyewear while the Spectrum laser handpiece delivers targeted pulses of light to the treatment areas. You may feel a snapping sensation—often compared to a rubber band on the skin—but it’s quick and very tolerable. The session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and you can return to your day right after.
IPL Photofacial FAQs
Is the Treatment Painful?
IPL photofacials are well-tolerated by most patients. You might feel a mild snapping or stinging sensation during the pulses, but the discomfort is brief. The Spectrum laser also includes cooling technology to help keep you comfortable throughout the session.
Is There Any Downtime With IPL Photofacial?
There’s minimal to no downtime. You may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn. The pigmented spots may darken before flaking off naturally.
Can I Wear Makeup After My Treatment?
Yes, you can usually apply makeup shortly after your session. Just be gentle with your skin and follow any aftercare instructions your provider gives you to protect your results.
When Can I Expect to See Results From My IPL Photofacial?
Some changes—like reduced redness or darkening of pigmented spots—can be visible within a few days. However, the full results typically develop over a few weeks as the skin renews.
How Many IPL Sessions Will I Need?
Most people see improvements after one session, but a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your skin type and specific concerns.
