Facial Rejuvneation with IPL

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, which emits multiple wavelengths into the skin and is used to target pigmented-producing cells below the surface. These cells absorb light energy, which is converted into heat energy that destroys the unwanted cells. Photofacials are an effective way to reverse skin damage and even out skin tone and texture; they can also help reduce acne and tighten pores, resulting in beautiful, radiant-looking skin. With two convenient locations on the Upper East Side of New York City and in New Jersey, our team at Inside Beauty provides exemplary care and elegant, natural-looking outcomes.

What Is an IPL Photofacial?

IPL offers an effective and straightforward method for rejuvenating the complexion and achieving a more energized, vibrant appearance. During your session, the IPL device emits a series of light pulses that target compromised cells. The light penetrates through the outermost skin layer, eliminating vascular or pigmented lesions. IPL is viable not only for the face, but also for the chest, hands, neck, and shoulders. It is an excellent solution for adjusting the following:

  • Facial redness
  • Sun damage
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Rosacea
  • Age spots
  • Sunspots
  • Freckles
  • Loose skin
  • Wrinkles, lines, and creases
  • Poor skin tone and texture
  • Acne scarring
  • Stretch marks

Who Are the Best Candidates for an IPL Photofacial?

Gentle and effective, IPL photo facials are suitable for nearly all patients, provided they are healthy and have a realistic understanding of the results they can expect. Our team at Inside Beauty in New York City will conduct a thorough consultation process to ensure that the treatment is the best option for achieving your unique aesthetic goals. If you have darker or tanned skin, our providers will often recommend microneedling instead. Additionally, patients with severe acne, deep scars, or pronounced skin laxity may need to choose a different option. During your initial appointment, we will determine the best approach to achieve a more vibrant and youthful appearance.

What’s the First Step?

To begin your IPL journey on the Upper East Side or in New Jersey, you will sit down with our trusted aesthetic experts for an initial consultation and skin assessment. We will listen carefully to your goals for your complexion, address all your questions, and begin formulating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. To ensure your expectations are realistic, we will discuss the risks, downtime, costs, and other details related to IPL therapy. Once we have booked your treatment date, we will ask you to follow certain guidelines, such as the following:

  1. Stop taking Accutane at least 6 months before your IPL appointment
  2. Don’t use tanning products or tanning beds for 4 weeks prior to IPL
  3. Avoid waxing, chemical peels, and fillers for 2 weeks before your appointment
  4. Refrain from taking blood thinners and aspirin for a few days before your visit
  5. Arrive at your session free from makeup, perfume, and deodorant

What to Expect on the Day of an IPL Photofacial Treatment

On the day of your IPL photofacial, you will arrive at our state-of-the-art offices, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan or in New Jersey, where our friendly team will greet you and briefly review your individualized treatment plan.

To begin, we will first numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to ensure your total comfort and relaxation during your session. You may also be fitted with protective eyewear, which will shield your eyes from the light pulses.

As the IPL device passes over the skin, you may experience a slight tingling sensation, indicating that the technology is taking effect to boost collagen production at the skin’s core levels. Total treatment time is typically around 15 to 30 minutes, and our team usually recommends 3 to 6 appointments spaced approximately one month apart.

IPL Photofacial Recovery

Because IPL treatment does not require anesthesia, incisions, or injections, patients typically experience little to no downtime. A few minor side effects may be present, such as tenderness or redness in the skin. These symptoms usually fade within several hours. Over the next several days, pigmented lesions will grow darker and then gradually slough off. Since your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after your session, it is essential to wear sunscreen when outdoors. Also, avoid any products that could increase your complexion’s photosensitivity, such as NSAIDs, antihistamines, and certain antibiotics. Our team at Inside Beauty in New York City will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, which you should follow carefully for optimal results.
