Is an IPL PhotoFacial Painful?

IPL PhotoFacial treatments are minimally-invasive treatments. Patients can expect to resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment session. Some redness, tingling, or swelling is normal and should disappear within several hours after treatment. Patients are strongly advised to avoid or reduce sun exposure immediately following their treatment. The Kaga Academy will provide you with after-care instructions to ensure longer-lasting results.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

For the best results, an IPL PhotoFacial requires multiple, consistent applications. The exact number of appointments necessary for your desired aesthetic goals will be determined in your individual consultation. While you may notice some improvement immediately, the length and frequency of treatments will depend on the severity of the damaged skin condition. During your consultation, our certified and experienced providers will help you assess the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired skin goals.

How Long Until I See Results?

Depending on the level of skin damage, some patients may be able to see immediate results from their IPL PhotoFacial treatments. The best results will come from consistent, repeated applications of the IPL PhotoFacial treatment over time. Patients can expect the results of their treatment to last from four to six months. Dr. Kaga recommends multiple treatments every year for longer results and to prevent lasting damage from sun exposure.

Can I Combine an IPL PhotoFacial with Other Procedures?

Introduction to IPL PhotoFacial

Sometimes, people come back from summer break feeling refreshed after a fun vacation, only to realize they look older. Their skin has changed texture, with stubborn dark spots that won’t go away over time. Makeup can help cover some sun damage, but improving skin texture and addressing dark spots requires more advanced medical techniques. Dr. Kaga recommends an IPL Photofacial to reverse the clock and treat sun-damaged skin in these cases. The Kaga Academy is happy to treat patients in Red Bank, NJ, or the surrounding area.

What is an IPL PhotoFacial?

An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) PhotoFacial is a photo-facial treatment that uses light pulses to generate collagen production in the skin. The light permeates the deeper layers of the skin to activate the skin’s natural collagen growth process, resulting in new collagen that helps even out the skin texture, reduces the appearance of dark spots, and addresses other skin imperfections. The end result is more youthful, even brighter skin!

What Are the Benefits of an IPL PhotoFacial?

A Red Bank IPL PhotoFacial is beneficial for a host of reasons, including the following:

Corrects or reduces the appearance of dark spots caused by sun damage
Evens and softens skin texture
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves chronic skin conditions such as rosacea or acne

Who Are the Best Candidates for an IPL PhotoFacial?

Dr. Kaga recommends receiving an IPL PhotoFacial in Red Bank for patients seeking to address the following skin issues:

Sun-damaged freckles and spots
Acne
Rosacea
Uneven skin texture
Wrinkles

Receiving an IPL PhotoFacial while taking medications that increase skin sensitivity is not recommended.

IPL PhotoFacials may be less effective for patients with darker skin. If you have darker skin tones, The Kaga Academy is happy to outline all options for your skin treatment in your personal consultation.
