What a photo facial is
A photo facial, also known as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, is a non invasive cosmetic procedure that uses pulses of light to improve the appearance of the skin. The light targets pigmentation, redness and other marks.
It is usually done as a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Our team looks at your skin first and tells you what to expect.
