Skin rejuvenation with the power of light.
Complimentary consultation required prior to receiving treatment.
You don’t have to live with dull, uneven skin any longer. Our IPL Fotofacial at The Lifestyle Center is specially designed to treat uneven skin, age spots, rosacea, freckles, and even small blood vessels. Intense pulsed light (IPL) penetrates the skin and heats the upper layers of skin, jumpstarting collagen production and cellular rejuvenation. You’ll immediately notice clearer, smoother skin that’ll only improve over time.

FAQs
What is an IPL FotoFacial?
IPL is a light-based therapy for treating skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyles, and sun damage. IPL light energy allows your clinician to perform treatments personalized for your skin and precisely treat age and sun spots, small facial veins, and many other skin defects. IPL Fototherapy is noninvasive so you can receive comfortable and effective treatments to fit your schedule, even on a lunch break.
How does an IPL FotoFacial work?
IPL emits pulses of light energy that gently heats the upper layers of skin. The skin absorbs the light energy by targets, such as fine, broken vessels that cause redness and brown spots or pigmented lesions that are caused by an overproduction of melanin. This effectively destroys the target, eliminating it from the skin and restoring it to its natural beauty and glow.
What conditions can be treated with an IPL FotoFacial?
Pigmented lesions (e.g., freckles, age spots), Vascular lesions (e.g., small blood vessels, rosacea, and other micro-capillary flushing conditions) acne, skin laxity, and uneven skin texture.
What areas can be treated?
We can treat any area of your body. The most popular treatments are on the face, neck, back of the hands, chest, and shoulders.
What will happen during the procedure?
Prior to your procedure, a numbing cream will be applied to your skin. During the treatment, we will protect your eyes with safety shields. You may briefly feel a warm or “rubber band snap” sensation as the light is absorbed by the targeted areas. Your procedure may take 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated and the procedure performed. Your clinician will discuss all of your options with you.
How long will it take to recover?
IPL treatments are designed to incur little to no downtime. Your face may appear red or flushed, something which usually fades within a few hours. Individuals with prominent pigmentation may notice that brown areas become temporarily darker, peeling off in 10-14 days. Makeup may be applied immediately after your treatment so you can return to your daily activities.
What aftercare do I need?
It is important to follow your clinician’s instructions. We will recommend skincare products and instructions on how to use them. If you must go outdoors, we recommend that you cover your treated skin and use sunscreen with SPF 30+ to protect your skin.
