IPL Photofacial

What IPL does well

• Brown sun spots and freckles
• Diffuse facial redness and rosacea
• Broken capillaries on the cheeks and nose
• Mild texture irregularities
• Photodamage on chest, neck, and hands

Skin type considerations

IPL works best on lighter skin types (Fitzpatrick I–III). For richer Hispanic and Caribbean skin tones, we usually choose alternative treatments like targeted laser or chemical peels to avoid the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dr. Puyana decides based on your skin during your consultation.

What to expect

Treatments take 20–30 minutes. You'll feel a snap like a rubber band with each pulse. After treatment, brown spots darken for 7–10 days then flake off naturally — this is normal and a sign it's working.
