IPL Photofacial Treatment in White Rock
A non-surgical treatment, erasing sunspots, uneven skin and age with the IPL Photofacial (Skin Rejuvenation). A pain-free solution in reducing facial redness and other skin conditions such as rosacea, broken capillaries for a more balanced skin complexion.
How does the IPL Photofacial work?
During an IPL Photofacial treatment, the handheld device delivers intense pulses of light energy deep into the skin. This targeted energy heats and breaks down the damaged cells responsible for dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and other skin discolourations below the skin's surface.
The treatment also triggers the body's natural healing process to promote collagen production which helps to fade facial redness, minimize symptoms of rosacea, and improve the appearance of bright blood vessels, resulting in a more even and balanced skin tone. The rejuvenating effects of the IPL light energy also contribute to improved texture, increased firmness, and reduction of fine lines, resulting in skin healing and transforming from within.

IPL Photofacial or Microneedling?
Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling uses a device equipped with fine needles to create microchannels in the skin suitable for all skin types and tones with acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and sagging skin. Key benefits include:
- Stimulates collagen production: Microneedling triggers the skin's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. This leads to improved skin elasticity, reduced fine lines, and enhanced overall texture.
- Treats acne scars and stretch marks: The micro-injuries created during microneedling help break down scar tissue, reducing the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and other textural irregularities.
- Enhances product absorption: The tiny channels created by microneedling allow for better penetration of topical serums and skincare products, maximizing their effectiveness.
IPL Photofacial Therapy
The IPL Photofacial utilizes intense pulsed light technology to address various skin issues suitable for fair to medium skin tones with sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, or vascular irregularities. Key benefits include:
- Targets pigmentation issues: The IPL Photofacial effectively reduces the appearance of sunspots, age spots, freckles, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
- Improves skin texture and tone: This treatment stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth out rough skin texture, minimize fine lines, and improve overall skin tone.
- Reduces redness and vascular issues: The IPL Photofacial can also diminish redness caused by conditions like rosacea or broken capillaries, resulting in a more balanced complexion.

What skin tones are safe with IPL Photofacial?
Fitzpatrick Skin Types Scale
Ensuring your safety is our top priority. This IPL skin chart or Fitzpatrick scale can help determine if you're a suitable candidate for this treatment. We recommend scheduling a Free Consultation with a technician for a professional assessment.
Skin with higher levels of melanin can absorb more light energy which carries an increased risk of burns and blistering. Targeting pigment irregularities in darker melanated skin without affecting the surrounding skin can be challenging since the treatment targets melanin for addressing pigmentation issues.
