IPL Photo Facial

Here’s the thing: years of sun, stress, and the Houston heat leave their calling cards—freckles gone rogue, redness that never quite settles down, uneven tone that makeup just can’t hide. An IPL Photo Facial flips the script. Using high-intensity pulses of broad-spectrum light, we zero in on excess pigment and visible vessels while coaxing fresh collagen to the surface. The result? Skin that looks like it remembers how to behave.

Unlike lasers (single wavelength, deeper heat), IPL fires controlled flashes across several wavelengths. Think of it as a smart, scattershot approach: energy soaks into browns and reds, breaks them apart, and invites your lymphatic system to sweep the debris away. Meanwhile, lower layers get a gentle wake-up call to build firmer, springier skin. Most guests describe the sensation as a warm snap—quick, tolerable, over in minutes.

Key Benefits

• • Good-bye, Photo-Damage: Fade sun spots, freckles, and age spots that have overstayed their welcome.
  • Calmer Complexion: Reduce persistent redness and visible capillaries for a more even canvas.
  • Texture Tune-Up: Stimulate collagen to soften fine lines and tighten pores over a series of sessions.
  • Minimal Downtime: Slip back to work or brunch with nothing more than a light flush—no hiding at home.
  • Tailored Settings: We calibrate wavelength, pulse width, and energy to your unique skin tone and goals.

Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare

• Skip the Tan: No self-tanners, spray tans, or extended sunbathing for two weeks. We need the laser talking to pigment, not bronzer.
• Pause Actives: Hold off on retinoids, glycolic acids, and strong exfoliants for 5–7 days.
• Arrive Bare-Faced: Clean skin, no makeup, sunscreen, or thick moisturizers—just you.
• Med List Matters: Let us know about antibiotics, Accutane history, or light-sensitive meds. It changes the game plan.

Aftercare and What to Expect

• Immediate Flush: A pink glow—like you raced up the stairs—fades within a few hours.
• Coffee-Ground Speckles: Dark spots may darken into tiny “pepper flakes” before flaking off over 5–7 days. Don’t scrub; let nature do the work.
• Ice and Soothe: A cool compress and lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer keep things comfy.
• SPF Is Non-Negotiable: Broad-spectrum 30+, reapplied every two hours if you’re outdoors. Treat your fresh skin like a new tattoo—protect it.
• Progressive Perfection: Expect visible brightening after the first session, with optimal results after 3–4 treatments spaced four weeks apart.
