If you’re looking to improve your appearance, you may have considered IPL Photofacial to treat rosacea, acne, and pigmentation issues on your face or body. 

The benefits of IPL Photofacial:

IPL Photofacials work by targeting rosacea and acne pigmentation. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a powerful laser targeting red and brown pigmentation like those found in rosacea. This treatment differs from lasers like CO2 or Nd: YAG because they target only red pigmentation, which is not ideal for all skin types. When performed on patients with darker skin tones, IPL can often cause hyperpigmentation (the opposite of what you want). So, if you’re fair-skinned and have acne or rosacea breakouts, an IPL Photofacial may be just what you need to address your condition without any added color impact.

Although side effects are rare, they can occur and, in some cases, may require medical attention. At Lime Skin Care, we will educate you on all the side effects before treating. Generally, lighter skin tones experience fewer adverse reactions than darker skin tones. Finally, shorter wavelengths tend to produce fewer side effects than longer wavelengths.

It doesn’t matter a person’s reason for visiting our center for IPL Photofacials, though. We will explain how these treatments will benefit you in the long term.
