IPL Photofacial in Boca Raton, FL

What Advantages Does an IPL Photofacial Offer Over Other Methods of Treatment?

Photofacials are particularly well-suited to the treatment of both brown and red spots, as well as other unwanted redness present in the face, such as visible blood vessels and diffuse facial redness. About a week after treatment, red and brown spots either fade completely or reduce in intensity. There are other benefits as well, since the photofacial coagulates collagen at deep levels, encouraging new collagen development. This new production often smooths the appearance of lines and wrinkles, as the fresh collagen provides a base of support for the outer skin layers.

Forever Clear BBL Treatment

Forever Clear BBL is an innovative treatment that depends on the power of light to clear acne and scarring, without the need for creams or medications. The skin is first treated with a Blue BBL light to mitigate the bacteria that causes acne, getting deep down in the pores. Yellow BBL light will follow; reducing the inflammation and redness which generates healthier, radiant skin.

For additional benefits, the skin can be treated with Infrared light in quick, gentle pulses to jumpstart the body’s healing process. If you are seeking an IPL Photofacial in Boca Raton, the team of physicians at the Herschthal Practice will develop a custom plan for you. The plan can include add-ons and follow up treatments, coupled with a skincare regimen. Forever Clear BBL is suitable for teens and adults and is non-invasive, FDA approved, mostly pain-free, requires no downtime, and is quick and efficient.

Moxi Treatment

Moxi is a gentler approach to conventional laser treatment. It delivers non-ablative fractional laser energy to the skin which promotes cell growth and the mitigation of unwanted pigment. Moxi allows users to correct uneven pigmentation, improve their skin tone and texture, without the need for downtime. It’s a perfect treatment for younger patients who are getting serious with a skin regimen, or for those who want to rejuvenate their skin without experiencing any downtime. A valuable resource for skin maintenance, which will keep you looking flawless. The procedure takes about 30 minutes in total with easy post-care and 24 hour post treatment makeup can be used.

Does the IPL Photofacial Process Hurt?

It depends on the type of photofacial you receive. LED treatments, more common at day spas and estheticians, offer a much gentler version of a photofacial than intense-pulsed light, or IPL, photofacials. LED facials are more about building new collagen and killing bacteria that cause acne. Treatments are painless and cool, with no risk of burning. LED facials may not affect skin spots as aggressively.

IPL photofacials are more intense. In fact, some of the results of a treatment resemble a sunburn. Skin feels tighter and peeling is likely. The treatment can cause slight discomfort, but numbing gels can alleviate some of the sting. The flaking off is part of the IPL facial process, and it’s important to let this happen naturally, without peeling skin away. The Herschthal Practice offers state-of-the-art IPL photofacials with excellent results.

How Do I Treat My Face After an IPL Photofacial?

While it depends on both the intensity and area of treatment, mild moisturizers and non-irritating sunscreens are typically used after treatment. Avoid direct sun for about a week after the facial. Longer term, a solid sun protection regimen extends the effects of your facial. Make sure your sunscreen offers broadband UVA/UVB protection, zinc oxide, and has at least an SPF of 30. While both sunlight and IPL photofacials involve bright, burning light, the harmful components get filtered out of the skin treatment. The sun provides a broadband barrage that ages the skin through collagen and elastin degradation, leading to wrinkles, brown spots, and discoloration.
