What an IPL / BBL PhotoFacial™ Treats
Patients choose IPL / BBL in Scottsdale to address:
- Brown spots, freckles, and sun damage (photoaging)
- Rosacea, flushing, and broken capillaries
- Acne and inflammation-related discoloration
- Uneven skin tone, dullness, and redness
- Non-facial sun damage: chest, neck, hands, arms, shoulders, and legs
Non-Facial IPL / BBL Treatments
Sun damage affects more than just the face. IPL / BBL PhotoFacial™ treatments also rejuvenate:
- Chest / Décolletage – smooth mottled pigmentation and sun-weathered skin
- Hands & Arms – reduce liver spots, freckles, and uneven tone
- Shoulders – fade scattered spots from driving and outdoor sun exposure
- Legs – improve uneven pigmentation and chronic photoaging
How IPL / BBL PhotoFacial™ Works
Broad-spectrum light pulses target:
- Melanin (brown pigment) to lift dark spots
- Hemoglobin (red vessels) to calm redness
- Stimulating collagen renewal for smoother, firmer skin
Results: Spots darken and flake off in 5–10 days, redness fades in weeks, and skin looks clearer, brighter, and younger.
Treatment Experience
- Session length: 20–45 minutes
- Comfort: cooling + protective eyewear, optional numbing cream
- Downtime: usually none to minimal; makeup OK next day
- Typical series: 3–5 sessions spaced 3–6 weeks apart
- Maintenance: 2–3 times/year for long-term results
Advanced IPL / BBL Protocols
- Acne Photofacial™: BBL reduces P. acnes bacteria and inflammation, paired with Smoothbeam® and medical-grade skincare.
- Rosacea Photofacial™: Multi-pass BBL gently diffuses redness, calms flushing, and minimizes broken capillaries.
