Photo facial, using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, is a skin brightening and tightening light facial in which a special bandwidth of light focuses on melanin, collagen, and hemoglobin. The light generates a special type of heat that helps to decrease melanin, thereby lightening pigmentation.
It also shrinks the hair follicle, reducing hair growth. IPL also stimulates collagen resulting in tightening and rejuvenating aging skin.
Another benefit achieved by this light is in shrinking dilated capillaries in the skin thereby reducing redness and improving conditions such as Rosacea. It also helps in reducing acne and redness from acne scars.
