Reveal Radiant Skin: Everything You Need to Know About IPL Photofacials

If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to achieve clearer, younger-looking skin, an IPL Photofacial might be your new favorite treatment. At The Beauty Crew Institute of Medical Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer this effective solution for sun damage, redness, and uneven skin tone. Let’s break down what IPL is, how it works, and why it’s such a powerful tool for skin rejuvenation.

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses multiple wavelengths to target various skin imperfections simultaneously. This broad-spectrum light penetrates the skin’s surface to break down pigment and stimulate collagen production.

What can IPL treat?

• Sun damage

• Brown spots

• Age spots

• Redness and rosacea

• Broken capillaries

• Uneven skin tone

• Fine lines

1. Non-invasive and minimal downtime

2. Visible improvement in skin tone and texture

3. Boosts collagen for firmer, plumper skin

4. Fades discoloration for a more even complexion

5. Customizable to your skin needs

Many clients report smoother, brighter skin after just one session. For optimal results, a series of 3–5 treatments is usually recommended.

IPL is best suited for people with lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I–III) who experience pigmentation, redness, or early signs of aging. If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, we offer personalized consultations to assess your skin and goals.

A typical IPL session takes about 30–45 minutes. To ensure your comfort, we apply a topical numbing cream beforehand, making the treatment much more tolerable. You may feel a mild sensation similar to a rubber band snapping on the skin. Afterward, some redness or mild swelling is common and usually subsides within a few hours to a day.

Post-treatment tips:

• Avoid sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily

• No hot showers, workouts, or harsh products for 24–48 hours

• Brown spots may temporarily darken before flaking off

Most clients benefit from 3–5 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year can help preserve your results.

The improvement in skin clarity and brightness is often noticeable after the first session, with cumulative results over time.

Not sure whether IPL is the right fit? Compared to microneedling or chemical peels, IPL is particularly effective for pigmentation, redness, and sun damage.

We’ll help you choose the best treatment plan based on your unique needs.
