Your IPL Photofacial Experience
Your Consultation
You can schedule a consultation with the aesthetic specialist of your choice directly online. When you arrive for your consultation and treatment, your provider asks about your skin concerns and goals. Depending on your specific concerns, the severity of your needs, and the goals you hope to achieve, your specialist will recommend the appropriate IPL wavelength. She will then explain what to expect during and after your treatment.
Your Procedure
Most IPL treatments take up to 30 minutes plus the consultation. Because the device uses multiple wavelengths of light, rather than a focused beam, most patients find the IPL photofacial treatment to be comfortable compared to lasers. Treatments typically feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin. However, our team can apply a numbing cream if you have sensitive skin.
How long do BBL Hero IPL photofacial treatments take?
BBL Hero IPL treatments usually take 30 minutes or less, making them the perfect lunchtime procedures.
How many IPL treatments will I need?
Most people require 1-6 treatments spaced about one month apart. Those with more extensive sun damage will need 3-6 treatments, while those using the treatment for prevention may only need one treatment. Once desired results are obtained, we recommend a yearly BBL Hero IPL treatment to maintain the results and treat any additional sun damage that might appear.
How much does a BBL Hero IPL photofacial cost in Charlotte, NC?
A single IPL photofacial costs about $600 for the face and neck, but the price varies depending on your skin’s needs.
What areas can BBL Hero IPL treat?
The BBL Hero photofacial is ideal for treating skin redness, acne, pigmentation, telangiectasia (tiny veins), or brown spots on the face, neck, or décolleté. Light, low-contrast brown spots, which were previously difficult to resolve, respond very well to this treatment.
Is there downtime after IPL treatments?
You can resume your normal activities immediately after IPL treatments, but avoid excessive sweating for at least a few days.
Will redness and brown spots return?
Treated spots will not reappear, but new ones can develop with more sun damage. If new spots or vessels form, they can be treated with additional sessions. Remember to always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when outdoors to minimize sun damage and the appearance of new spots and diffuse redness.
