IPL Photofacial

Fade sun damage, even your tone, and restore youthful radiance

Overview

An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a non-invasive light-based treatment designed to visibly reduce sun spots, pigmentation, redness, and broken capillaries—all with minimal downtime. Using targeted wavelengths of light, IPL treatments rejuvenate the skin from within by triggering the body’s natural healing process and promoting a clearer, more balanced complexion.

At Synerchi Medical Spa, our IPL Photofacial services are available for the face, neck, chest, and other areas affected by sun exposure or pigmentation. Whether you’re concerned about dark spots, flushing, or overall skin clarity, IPL offers an effective and clinically backed solution.

Key Benefits

  • Diminishes sun spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation

  • Reduces redness, rosacea, and broken capillaries

  • Improves overall tone and clarity of the skin

  • Stimulates natural collagen production

  • Minimal downtime, with gradual visible results

How It Works

Step 1: Consultation & Prep
We’ll assess your skin concerns and create a personalized treatment plan. IPL is ideal for lighter skin tones with visible sun damage or pigmentation.

Step 2: Light Energy Treatment
During treatment, pulses of broad-spectrum light are applied to the skin. Pigmented or damaged cells absorb the light, which converts to heat and gently breaks them apart.

Step 3: Skin Renewal
Over the following days, the treated pigment will darken and flake off, revealing clearer, smoother skin underneath. Collagen production is also triggered, providing longer-term rejuvenation.

  • Freckles and melasma (in some cases)

  • Redness and rosacea

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

To ensure the best outcome, please follow these instructions:

  • Discontinue photosensitizing products such as retinoids, glycolic acid, or AHAs at least 7 days before your appointment

  • A numbing cream will be applied 30 minutes prior to your treatment for comfort

Post-Treatment Care

Mild redness, warmth, or a sunburned sensation is normal and should resolve within a few hours to a day.

Aftercare includes:

  • Apply cool compresses as needed until the skin calms

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily

  • Expect darkening of brown spots, which will flake off naturally in 5–7 days

  • Resume your regular skincare routine the next day unless otherwise instructed

  • An in-depth aftercare handout will be provided at your appointment

Is IPL Right for You?

IPL Photofacials work best for individuals with lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III) who are looking to reduce signs of sun damage or pigmentation. It may not be suitable for those with melasma-prone or deeper skin tones, as it can sometimes cause hyperpigmentation.
