Age spots, irregular skin pigmentation and wrinkles are just a few of the joys of getting older. Once considered inevitable signs of aging, modern technology has not only challenged this mentality but also produced proven methods of defying it.

Our IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) PhotoFacial utilizes a series of pulsed light treatments to dramatically erase freckles, age spots, dark under eyes, spider veins, sun damage, enlarged pores, acne, redness and flushing (rosacea), and uneven skin tone. The light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before it flakes off or the body absorbs it. Since the skin's epidermal surface is not disturbed, there is no recovery time involved. Treatment can be delivered as frequently as every three weeks and you will be delighted with the dramatic results!

Using a handheld instrument, the licensed aesthetician/certified laser technician applies an intense light in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. The heat that is generated by the light causes damage to the vessel or lesion. The vessel may be damaged and absorbed immediately or over a series to treatments. For age spots and sun damage, the skin may show darkened lesions that surface and begin to slough off in its natural healing process. This process may take up to two weeks to complete. We recommend adding a microderm to accelerate the process. The benefits include evening out skin tone, reducing pore size and stimulating collagen, along with a naturally beautiful looking radiance.

How many sessions will it take?

Each client is unique, however, the average number of treatments we recommend is three, with a touch-up every six months, or as often as needed. Since sun damage often goes beyond the surface of the skin and into the dermis, consecutive treatments are necessary to achieve optimal results. Talk to one of our licensed aestheticians/certified laser technicians to determine how many treatments you will need to look your absolute best. All packages include 3 FREE microderms or peels to the treated area.

Am I a good candidate for IPL PhotoFacial?

If you would like to improve the overall appearance of your skin without the expense, risks and downtime associated with plastic surgery, then you are an excellent candidate for this procedure. IPL PhotoFacials can produce dramatic results by minimizing pore size, stimulating collagen and correcting pigmentation problems. 

Is there any downtime associated with IPL PhotoFacial?

Not at all. This procedure is non-invasive and most clients return to their normal activities immediately following treatment.

How safe are the treatments?

Very safe. Side effects are extremely rare but can occur. Immediately following treatment, some clients may experience a bit of redness or flushing, and skin irregularities such as brown spots and capillaries may be temporarily darker. Occasionally, a delayed reaction occurs and the skin may become redder within a short period of time. In most all cases, however, these irregularities will fade and the client will see great results.

Our laser technicians are not only certified, but also have completed a rigorous training course at the National Laser Institute. At Savanna MedSpa, safety is our number one priority, and our staff has the proven background to help you achieve your skin care goals.
