IPL photofacials are one of the safest light-based treatments on the market! Photorejuvenation causes little to no pain during and after treatment, and any side effects to your skin usually vanish within a few hours and up to a few days after the treatment. Clients may experience minor, temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, bruising, blisters, or crusting though this is not common. These side effects are only temporary, however, and tend to naturally subside two or three days following your treatment. **Please note that the treated areas will be extremely sun-sensitive following treatment and that excessive exposure to damaging UV rays can negatively affect your results. We also recommend using SPF 35+ sunscreen to help prevent further skin damage after treatment.
