IPL Photo Facial Treatment Specialist in Midland TX

IPL photo facial stands for intense pulsed light therapy. This therapy helps to improve the color and texture of the skin without the need for surgery. Many times, it can undo visible damage which is caused by sun exposure, or artificial sun exposure, often known as photoaging. Many of our patients begin to notice this mostly on their neck, face, chest, and hands.

IPL photo facials have also been documented to have helped patients with red, brown, and splotchy skin due to health conditions. While this may not happen for every patient, it is a fantastic benefit.

IPL photo facials use light energy to target certain colors within your skin. Your skin becomes heated, while the body starts to rid any unwanted cells, and anything else being treated. IPL photo facial sends out multiple wavelengths of pulsating light which treats multiple skin conditions at the same time.

IPL photo facials offer minimal to no downtime after a treatment. Any downtime involved with an IPL photo facial usually includes redness or blushing for a few hours after your treatment has commenced. If you have pigmented spots on the treated area, they may become darker immediately after treatment, this is due to the pigment rising to the surface; however, the pigment will then start to look like coffee grounds on your skin and slowly will begin to flake off over a 2-to-3-week timeframe.

Other mild downtime experiences may include mild itching and swelling after the treatment, this is why it’s so important to not rub, scratch, or exfoliate the treated area of the skin while it is healing, as this could cause scarring to occur.

It is advised and highly recommended you wear high SPF sunscreen after your treatment daily, this is to help protect the skin after the treatment. On average, our patients begin to see their skin go back to normal around 2 to 7 days after the treatment.

Many patients begin to see a significant difference in any hyperpigmented spots, skin texture, and vascular lesions within 1 to 2 weeks after their IPL treatment. After we recommend 2 to 4 treatments; however, this will depend on the skin conditions that are being treated.

Often, we highly suggest each patient does 2 to 4 treatments of IPL photo facials to see the results they want. IPL photo facials are used to fix existing issues; they cannot help prevent new ones from occurring in the future.

How long your results last will depend on a multitude of factors; however, most of this can be controlled by the patient with the recommended skincare products that were talked about during their consultation. This includes wearing daily high SPF sunscreen, and a healthier lifestyle.

Many of our clients will require an IPL photofacial Touch up/ maintenance treatment every 1 to 4 years, this will greatly depend on how well the patient has cared for the skin after their initial treatments.
