Support Sun Damaged Skin With IPL Laser in Los Angeles

People have written songs about the California sun, and we don’t blame them. There’s nothing like spending time here at the beach, on a patio, or in a pool!

But without care, that sun can do serious damage to your skin. IPL laser treatment repairs—and even erases—many of the sun’s effects. IPL photofacial treatments target pigment issues as well as sun damage, destroying Melanin-producing cells for dramatic improvements in the appearance of:

  • Age spots
  • Sun spots
  • Sun damage
  • Freckles
  • Rosacea
  • Broken capillaries
  • And more

With IPL laser treatment, you’ll soon be singing praise for how your skin looks and feels!

The IPL Laser Process

What to Expect

01

Consultation

It starts with a personal consultation with your trained and licensed Younique provider. During this relaxing and energizing one-on-one, they’ll discuss your concerns, your goals for treatment, and your medical history. If your provider determines that IPL laser in Los Angeles is the best treatment for your concerns and goals, your session can be scheduled.

Procedure

Photofacial therapy is a nonsurgical, noninvasive treatment used to correct skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface. Your Younique provider cleanses the treatment area and may apply a numbing cream. The IPL laser energy targets brown and red colors within the skin, diminishing age spots and redness while stimulating the formation of collagen in the skin. Treatments generally last for 20 to 30 minutes with a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks between each.

Recovery

You will have a mild sunburn sensation following treatment that is usually gone within a few hours. Skin redness, flaking, mild bruising, and/or slight edema (swelling) is normal and may last a few days. Blistering is uncommon, but when it occurs it is generally not serious. Pigmented areas may begin to flake after a few days. Cold compresses and recommended medical-grade skincare products may help reduce swelling or discomfort.
