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.
What does IPL mean?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This version of laser therapy delivers more than one wavelength of pulsating light, which targets specific colors in your skin. This pigment heats up, which destroys the cell that’s making the pigment. After your body flushes away the unwanted cells, your skin will look more evenly toned and youthful.
What should I do after having IPL photofacial treatment?
Younique Surgery Center and Med Spa recommends following these instructions for the best support for your IPL photofacial rejuvenation results:
- Keep your skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers.
- Gently wash your face twice each day with mild facial cleansers.
- Apply makeup sparingly and remove very gently until healing is complete.
- Regularly use sunscreen protection (30 SPF or stronger) and avoid any unprotected sun exposure for 1 month.
- Avoid hot showers for 2 to 3 days after treatment.
- Opt for a facial treatment to clean and hydrate skin after about 2 to 3 weeks.
- Avoid scratching the face after treatment until healing is complete.
