Overview
What it is
The Photo Facial (IPL) is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that reduces redness, pigmentation, and sun damage, leaving your skin brighter, smoother, and more even.
Intense pulsed light targets brown spots and visible redness beneath the surface. Pigment gradually darkens and flakes away, and redness softens, revealing a clearer, more uniform complexion over the following weeks.
