What you need to know about the IPL photofacial treatment
Are you curious about treatments designed to clear your skin and improve its texture and tone? Are you looking for a non-laser treatment that is more affordable and just as effective? Dr. Tatiana Khrom is a board-certified dermatologist serving those in the Brooklyn, New York area who are interested in beautiful skin.
Let’s look at IPL photofacials and what sets them apart in the skincare arena!
What is an IPL photofacial? How does it work?
IPL is an acronym that stands for “Intense Pulsed Light,” and it is a treatment that uses light energy to target issues like sunspots, redness, and uneven skin tone. It works by delivering pulses of light into the skin, which encourages the body to naturally repair and renew itself.
Does an IPL photofacial hurt?
Most of our patients describe the sensation of the IPL treatment as a quick snap, like a rubber band gently popping on your skin. It’s over quickly, and if you’re feeling a bit nervous, many clinics offer cooling options to keep you comfy.
What skin concerns can an IPL photofacial treat?
IPL photofacials tackle a variety of concerns. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, dark spots, redness from rosacea, fine lines, or even visible blood vessels, this treatment restores that radiant glow.
How long do most IPL photofacials take?
Each session typically lasts about 30 minutes, so it is perfect for squeezing into a busy day. It’s like taking a spa day during your lunch break!
How many treatments do I need to see results?
While you might notice some improvement after a single session, most of our patients see the best results after 3 – 5 treatments. Everyone’s skin is unique, so your provider at KHROM MEDSPA & WELLNESS can tailor a plan for your goals.

Is there any potential downtime after an IPL photofacial?
The downtime is minimal! Your skin might be slightly red or sensitive for a few hours after treatment, and dark spots might appear darker before they fade away. Just be sure to wear sunscreen and follow your skincare professional’s advice post-treatment.
Can anyone get an IPL photofacial?
IPL works best on lighter skin tones and might not be suitable for everyone. A consultation with a skincare expert is the best way to find out if you are an ideal candidate for this or other skin services at her office.
How soon will I see changes?
Many of our patients begin to notice brighter, smoother skin within a week after their first session. However, results improve over time as the skin continues to heal and renew. Patience pays off when it comes to radiant skin!
