What Does an IPL Photofacial Treat?
IPL photofacial treatment uses intense light energy to target deep skin layers, stimulating collagen production and improving overall texture and tone. IPL effectively treats the following conditions:
- > Signs of aging, such as wrinkles
- > Sun damage
- > Persistent blemishes
- > Skin redness
- > Small, broken capillaries
- > Acne and enlarged pores
- > Brown spots
- > Pigmented lesions
- > Large pores
During your initial consultation at LA ViE MD, a skilled practitioner will evaluate your skin concerns and determine the most appropriate IPL treatment plan to achieve your desired results.


What You Can Expect During An IPL Photofacial
When you arrive for your IPL photofacial at LA ViE MD, a practitioner will apply a protective gel to the desired treatment area. As a nurse moves the IPL device across your skin, you’ll feel minimal discomfort. Most patients often compare it to the snapping sensation of a rubber band.
Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Our experienced practitioners ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process, adjusting the IPL device settings according to your preferences.
IPL Photofacial Recovery & Aftercare
After your IPL photofacial treatment, you may experience mild swelling or skin redness. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day post-treatment.
It’s recommended to avoid direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin after an IPL photofacial. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
Ideal Candidates for IPL Photofacials
IPL photofacials are ideal for Los Gatos residents looking to improve their skin’s appearance without invasive procedures. Suitable candidates often have light to medium skin tones affected by sun damage, signs of aging, acne, or uneven pigmentation.
IPL photofacials may not be suitable for patients with darker skin tones or those who tan easily, as hyperpigmentation or discoloration may occur. Those taking certain acne medications or those with sensitive skin should also avoid IPL treatments. Pregnant women should defer any cosmetic laser treatments until after delivery due to a lack of research on prenatal effects.
During your initial consultation, a practitioner at LA ViE MD will assess your skin condition to determine whether IPL photofacials are a safe treatment option for you.
