Below you will find a brief description of what an IPL foto facial is and a explanation of the intended results. However, the best way to get complete answers to your specific questions is to make a consultation appointment with our Licensed Medical Esthetician, Mary Hardy, at 281.807.6676.

What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of photo-aging, birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes. It offers a safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type.

How is an IPL Foto Facial done?
A cool gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied. You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band. Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes.
