Great for those with sun spots, age spots, redness, rosacea, or uneven tone who want clearer skin without significant downtime.

What IPL Photofacial Can Improve
- Sun spots and age spots
- Redness and visible blood vessels
- Rosacea-related flushing
- Uneven tone and blotchiness
- Overall dullness or lack of radiance
Why These Concerns Develop
- Sun exposure: UV rays trigger pigment and broken capillaries over time.
- Aging skin: Slower cell turnover makes discoloration more visible.
- Rosacea & sensitivity: Some skin types are prone to flushing and redness.
- Environmental stressors can contribute to uneven tone.
- Genetics may influence pigment and vessel visibility.
When to schedule: Consider an IPL Photofacial if makeup is doing most of the work to cover spots and redness, or if your skin looks uneven and sun-damaged despite good skincare.
