What is IPL?
Do dark spots, fine lines, wrinkles and signs of sun damage on your face bother you when you look in the mirror? We invite you to schedule a skin consultation at The Skin Shop in Scottsdale, AZ to determine if you could benefit from IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. An IPL photofacial is a treatment that rejuvenates the skin for adults with hyperpigmentation problems or unwanted lines and wrinkles on their neck and face. A photofacial may be a noninvasive procedure; however, it can be very effective and produce impressive outcomes. A member of our team sends intense wavelengths of light energy that warm the skin cells to ignite the natural healing process and boost collagen production. In time, you should see a healthier complexion with improved tone, decreased dark spots, and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
What Are the Benefits?
IPL photofacials are famous at Skin Shop for the transforming qualities. A few of the benefits that our Scottsdale, AZ individuals glean from their IPL photofacials include:
- Improved skin tone and feel
- Balancing of hyperpigmentation and sun spots
- Revitalized, transformed skin look
- Relaxing, aesthetic procedure that boosts your total skin health
What to Expect from a Liquid Facelift
The fillers and wrinkle relaxers used in our Scottsdale, AZ facility are approved by the FDA and have been considered safe to use. The effects of fillers are usually observed immediately while relaxer products could take up to a week to reveal noticeable results. If you are also wanting to undergo additional aesthetic treatments, it may be in your best interest to wait a few days after injections. The longevity of the results depends upon the relaxers and fillers used in the liquid facelift. Some liquid facelift products only last a few months while others occasionally yield results much longer. Patients should come back to The Skin Shop for scheduled touch-ups to maintain their favorable results.

IPL FAQs
How can I prepare for my IPL treatment?
Before getting IPL, patients are usually asked to skip self-tanners and excessive sun for about 2 – 4 weeks prior to the treatment. You should stop using certain medications a few days before your appointment, and may be asked to take ibuprofen or aspirin one week before your procedure to help prevent bruising. You should also use sunscreen since your skin will be extra senstive.
How quick are the results from IPL?
Improvements can be seen following each IPL treatment, but final results can be seen about one month after your last treatment. It’s normal for patients to get varying results after every treatment. You will notice a gradual improvement of blotchiness, redness, sunspots, and age spots.
What are the possible side effects of IPL?
Most patients have mild side effects like temporary swelling, redness, crusting, blisters, or bruising. This should go away on its own in a few days. You will be sun sensitive, and you should keep in mind that damaging UV rays can affect your results. We also recommend using sunscreen to avoid issues like redness and spots.
