Reveal a Clearer,
More Even Complexion

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to target pigment and vascular irregularities in the skin. It’s especially effective for treating sun damage, brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, and rosacea. The light energy penetrates below the surface to break up unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen production, revealing a clearer, more even complexion over time. At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we use cutting-edge IPL devices to ensure safe, effective, and customized treatments for your skin concerns.

How Does IPL Photofacial Work?

IPL photofacial uses broad-spectrum light to target pigment and blood vessels just below the skin’s surface. The light is absorbed by brown spots and red areas, where it turns into heat—breaking up unwanted pigment and collapsing visible vessels.

This process triggers your body’s healing response, which clears away the treated pigment and stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin over time.

IPL Photofacial FAQs

Is IPL Photofacial Painful?

Most people describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping lightly against the skin. At Morpheus Medical Aesthetics, we apply a topical numbing agent before your treatment and use a cooling device to minimize discomfort. While the treatment is generally well-tolerated, you may feel some warmth or mild stinging during the session, especially in more sensitive areas.

How Long Does an IPL Photofacial Take?

A typical IPL photofacial session takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. You’ll be in and out the same day, making this an easy option to fit into your schedule—even during a lunch break.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

While some clients notice improvement after just one treatment, most benefit from a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced about 3 to 6 weeks apart. This allows your skin time to heal and respond to the light energy. The number of treatments depends on the severity of the condition being treated and your individual skin goals, which we’ll review during your consultation.

Is There Any Downtime?

You can return to most of your regular activities right after your appointment. Just avoid direct sun exposure, intense workouts, and hot environments (like saunas) for the first 24 to 48 hours. And don’t forget your sunscreen—SPF 30 or higher is a must to protect your results.

Can I Wear Makeup After My Treatment?

Yes, you can usually wear makeup the next day, but we recommend giving your skin time to breathe immediately after your session. If your skin is feeling sensitive, you might prefer to skip foundation or choose mineral-based products for a few days.

When Will I See the Results?

You’ll likely start to see noticeable improvements within two weeks, with your skin looking clearer, brighter, and more even. The results continue to improve with each treatment as your body builds more collagen and pigment continues to break down.

What Will My Skin Look Like Right After Treatment?

Immediately after your IPL photofacial, your skin may look slightly pink or feel warm—similar to a mild sunburn. This fades within a few hours. Brown spots may temporarily darken before flaking off naturally over the next 7 to 10 days.
