An Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) PhotoFacial uses pulses of light to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to correct a variety of skin blemishes and assorted skin conditions.,The skin absorbs the light and targets damaged skin or other areas of concern, which then prompts the body’s natural regeneration process to stimulate collagen production and heal the skin. This treatment safely reduces unwanted skin discoloration or pigmentation without harming the surrounding, healthy skin.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

An IPL PhotoFacial may be the best solution for all your skincare needs. To find out, please schedule a consultation at Truffles Aesthetics, based in Atlanta, GA. You will be greeted by our patient care coordinator and made comfortable before meeting with a plastic surgeon-trained aesthetician and certified member of our team. Your aesthetician will review your medical history and evaluate your skin to recommend whether the IPL PhotoFacial treatment or any other skincare treatment can suitably address your skincare needs. They will then develop a customized treatment plan, which you may begin that day or schedule at a later time with our patient care coordinator.

What to Expect on the Day of IPL PhotoFacial Treatment

On the day of your IPL PhotoFacial treatment, your aesthetician will meet with you to review your proposed treatment plan and explain how the IPL device will work to target your areas of concern on your skin. We encourage our patients to ask any and all questions at this time so they feel comfortable proceeding with their treatment.

When you are ready to begin, your skin will be cleansed and prepped for IPL light therapy. You will also be given safety goggles to protect your eyes. Your aesthetician will then use the IPL device to target the areas of your skin that were recommended for treatment.

The entire treatment session typically takes no more than twenty to thirty minutes, depending on the patient’s needs. You may return home and resume your daily schedule the same day.

IPL PhotoFacial Recovery

Please follow the aftercare instructions provided by Truffles Aesthetics to ensure your results’ longevity and quality. We recommend patients avoid sun exposure and hot water immediately following their IPL PhotoFacial treatment, as their skin will be more sensitive and exposed.

Patients may experience mild redness or swelling as a result of their treatment; however, these side effects are only temporary. The vast majority of our patients are able to return to their daily lives shortly after undergoing an IPL PhotoFacial procedure.
