IPL Limelight Photofacial
What is IPL limelight Photofacial?
IPL Photofacial (Intense Pulse Light) is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses advanced light technology to target sun spots, freckles, rosacea, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. This safe and effective treatment improves skin tone and texture on the face.
How IPL Technology Improves Skin?
IPL Photofacial uses Intense Pulsed Light to deliver multiple wavelengths into the skin, targeting pigment producing cells beneath the surface. The light energy converts to heat, breaking down excess melanin and reducing discoloration. Dark spots gradually rise to the surface, develop a coffee ground texture, and naturally flake away to reveal clearer, more radiant skin. Best results are after a series of 3-6 treatments.

Your Questions Answered
Who Is/Is Not a Good Candidate
Those with a higher Fitzpatrick score, those with a tan and those with melasma are not good candidates. Because the light rays are attracted to pigment, darker skin tones can actually become discolored and melasma patches can become darker.
How Many IPL Photofacial Treatments Do I need?
For best results, 3-5 treatments are typically recommended, about four weeks apart.
Is IPL Photofacial Painful?
Photofacial would not necessarily be called painful, but it can be a little uncomfortable. Patients liken the feeling to a rubber band snapping on their skin.
How Long Is The IPL Photofacial Appointment?
The length of treatment is dependent on the number of areas being treated and the number of passes the technician makes on the area. For reference, getting an IPL Photofacial on the face would take about 30 minutes.
How Long Do IPL Photofacial Results Last?
Photofacial results perpetually improve over time, with best results being seen three months after the last treatment. Sun protection and skin care maintenance are essential to the longevity of the results. Sunburns and over exposure will bring back old spots and freckles and dullness will return if proper exfoliation during daily routines are neglected. A new series of treatments are recommended every year for optimal results.
During Your IPL Photofacial Appointment
Your technician will thoroughly cleanse your skin, so you can either come with or without makeup. After the skin is clean, she will apply a cool gel to your skin, which enhances the effect of the light waves. The technician moves a laser over the skin in a grid-like pattern, flashing the light about every centimeter. Depending on your need, she may go over the area multiple times.
Post IPL Photofacial Treatment
After the treatment, the technician will again clean the skin, removing the gel. You will likely be slightly red and puffy, but there is no significant down time. You are free to reapply make up right away and return to your normal skin care routine. Be sure to stay out of the sun for 2 weeks and be consistent in sun screen application.
