Photo Facial IPL
$295
Intense pulsed light targets pigmentation and sun damage to even out tone and improve texture, with minimal downtime.

Who IPL is for
- Sun damage, sun spots and freckling
- Brown spots and uneven tone
- Redness and small visible blood vessels
- Skin that looks dull after summer
IPL isn’t right for everyone: very deep skin tones and recently tanned skin may need a different treatment. Paola checks at your consultation and may suggest Aerolase or a peel instead.
What to expect
- Consultation. Paola checks your skin type, sun exposure and medications
- Protection. Eye protection and a cool gel go on before treatment
- Treatment. Light pulses are applied across the area; most clients feel a quick snap of warmth
- After. Dark spots often look darker for several days before they fade and flake away
