What is an IPL Photofacial?
IPL Photofacial is a light-based therapy that targets uneven pigmentation, discoloration, and redness in the skin. Unlike laser treatments that focus on a single wavelength of light, IPL uses broad-spectrum light to treat multiple layers of the skin simultaneously. This helps to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, rosacea, acne scars, and more. By penetrating the skin’s surface and stimulating the production of collagen, IPL Photofacial helps rejuvenate your complexion and restore your skin’s natural beauty.
How IPL Photofacial Works
During an IPL Photofacial, a handheld device emits pulses of light that penetrate the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. The light energy targets melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) and hemoglobin (which causes redness and broken capillaries), breaking them down. Over time, the body naturally processes these elements, resulting in a clearer complexion.
Additionally, IPL stimulates collagen production, which helps improve the overall texture and firmness of your skin. As collagen increases, fine lines and wrinkles soften, and the skin appears more youthful and vibrant.

What to Expect During Your IPL Photofacial Treatment
Before your IPL Photofacial treatment in Frederick, MD, you will have a consultation with one of our skilled providers to assess your skin and discuss your concerns. The treatment itself is simple and quick. During the procedure, a cooling gel is applied to the skin to ensure comfort. The IPL device is then passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled pulses of light to target pigmentation and other skin issues.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a mild stinging sensation, similar to the snap of a rubber band. After the treatment, you may notice mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
