What Is IPL?

Women and men who struggle with the appearance of sun damage or dark spots in their complexion may be ideal candidates for intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments at Absolute Aesthetics. A photo facial with IPL is a rejuvenating skin treatment for hyperpigmentation problems on the neck and face. Our team sends intense pulses of light to ignite the natural regeneration process and boost collagen production. In time, you should notice a healthier complexion, an improved tone, and decreased dark spots. Even though a photo facial is not invasive, it can be highly effective and produce impressive results for your skin. Our Bellevue, WA team employs the Harmony XL PRO laser from Alma to complete IPL therapy and can offer you a skin consultation to see if this option can help you reach your skin goals.

What Are the Benefits of IPL Photofacials?

IPL photo facials are sought-after at Absolute Aesthetics for their rejuvenating benefits. Some of the benefits that patients gain from IPL photo facials include:

• Improved skin tone and feel
• Balancing or reducing pigmentation and brown spots
• Revitalized, transformed skin aesthetic
• A relaxing, spa-like procedure that contributes to skin vibrance

How Does IPL Work?

IPL with the Harmony XL PRO takes approximately 20 – 30 minutes to perform in one of our private treatment rooms. After the treatment, your skin will be sensitive to the sun so you should bring sunscreen and a hat. Temporary swelling, redness, blisters, and bruising are all usual side effects. These symptoms should subside within a day or two. Patients may notice skin improvements following one IPL therapy session, but optimal results are noticeable about one month after an entire series of treatments is completed. It’s normal for you to get varying results after every session, as you will likely experience a fading of redness, blotchiness, and sun damage over time.
