Photofacial (IPL Therapy) in Kerrville and Houston, TX

Photofacial or IPL Therapy by InMode is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target various skin concerns. This treatment delivers pulses of light energy to the skin, which penetrate the surface and are absorbed by pigmented cells and blood vessels. This process breaks down unwanted pigmentation and vascular lesions, promoting a clearer skin tone. Photofacial by InMode treats the face, neck, chest, and hands. It addresses issues like sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea, and broken capillaries. This results in a more even skin tone, with less discoloration and smoother texture.

Photofacial in Kerrville, TX, and Houston, TX, is suitable for persons who want to improve skin tone and texture without invasive procedures. The treatment is ideal for sun damage, redness, or uneven pigmentation. Results can often be seen a few days to a week after the first session. The longevity of the results varies, but many patients enjoy the benefits for several months. Minimal downtime allows patients to return to regular activities shortly after the procedure.

FAQs

What is the IPL Photofacial Treatment like?

Before your treatment, Dr. Layton will provide you with a custom brightening cream to use for about a month prior to your procedure. It would also help to avoid sun exposure for approximately two weeks before the treatment. The IPL photofacial is not painful, thanks to our IPL device’s built-in cooling tip, which enhances comfort during the procedure. The device also features a fast pulse mode, allowing quicker treatment than standard IPL procedures.

Who is a good candidate for Photofacial?

Photofacials are an excellent option for people with sun spots, uneven skin color, or redness who want a treatment that doesn’t involve surgery. However, it’s essential to be healthy overall and have realistic treatment goals.

What kind of results can I expect from my IPL Photofacial?

You will start seeing results from your IPL photofacial within a few weeks of treatment. These will continue to improve for the following weeks and with additional treatments. The IPL laser technology at Layton Aesthetic Plastic Surgery often requires just one treatment to achieve the same results that might require multiple sessions elsewhere. However, we may recommend a series of up to three treatments for optimal results.

When will I see the results of Photofacial?

Results from Photofacialcan become visible within a few days to a week after treatment. A series of treatments is often recommended for the best outcomes.

How long do results from Photofacial last?

Photofacial results can last several months, especially with proper skin care and sun protection. Periodic maintenance treatments can prolong the benefits.

Is there any downtime or side effects with Photofacial?

Photofacial has minimal downtime. Some patients may experience temporary swelling immediately following treatment, although these effects usually resolve within a few hours to a day.

What should I do before and after Photofacial treatment?

Before undergoing a Photofacial, avoid sun exposure and tanning. After the treatment, using sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight is essential to protect the treated areas and enhance the results.

What can I expect during a Photofacial treatment?

During a Photofacial treatment, a handheld device delivers light pulses to the skin. Patients may feel a slight warming sensation and snapping, similar to a rubber band against the skin. The treatment time varies from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated.
