IPL works by emitting rapid bursts of high-intensity light into your skin. As the pigment-producing cells in your skin absorb the light energy emitted by the device, the light energy is converted to heat. This effectively destroys the unwanted dark skin cells, forcing them to break apart to be flushed away by your body’s natural processes. These damaged cells are pushed to the surface of your skin and flake away. What’s left behind is a fresh, new, healthier layer of skin that’s lighter and brighter than before.

See if our treatment planning tool determines a photofacial is for you.
Treatments are not painful, but you might experience mild stinging/discomfort as the device works. Our providers at B+A Medical Aesthetics will check in with you to ensure your comfort during treatment.
You will start noticing improvement after your first treatment, but optimal results appear over the following weeks.
You might experience mild swelling or redness after treatment, but it usually disappears within a day or two. It’s perfectly safe to re-apply makeup, moisturizers, or other daily skincare products immediately following your treatment.
Your skin will be very sensitive to UV light after your IPL Photofacial in Austin, so it’s crucial to wear sunscreen daily.
Every person we treat has unique skin issues to resolve, and an evaluation of your skin will help our team of skincare experts advise you on the best approach. You may need between three to six treatments at one-month intervals to achieve an optimal level of skin renewal.
