IPL Photofacial Treatment

What is ICON™ IPL Photofacial?

The IPL Photofacial is a light-based skin treatment that targets pigmentation, redness, vascular lesions, and acne-causing bacteria at the surface level. It delivers high-intensity pulses of light to specific skin depths, breaking down discoloration and calming inflammation while stimulating your skin’s natural healing.

This isn’t your basic facial. It’s medical-grade light therapy that visibly clears and brightens skin—with zero fluff and maximum glow.

  • Fades Sun Damage + Pigmentation

    Say goodbye to sun spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation with precision light therapy.

  • Breaks Up Redness + Rosacea

    Calms visible capillaries and flushing—restoring an even, radiant tone.

  • Targets Acne + Inflammation

    Destroys acne-causing bacteria while reducing redness and residual marks.

  • No Downtime, All Results

    Walk out glowing—most clients experience only mild redness that resolves within hours.

  • Boosts Skin Function Over Time

    Light therapy improves cellular turnover, giving your skin a longer-lasting glow.

How IPL Works

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers controlled pulses of light energy to the skin, where it is absorbed by pigment and hemoglobin (in blood vessels). This energy breaks down discoloration, diffuses redness, and stimulates collagen production—resulting in clearer, smoother skin over time.

Most clients need a series of treatments (typically 3–6 sessions) spaced 3–4 weeks apart for optimal results. And yes, we customize the wavelength, intensity, and filter to match your skin.

Results from ThreeForMe skin treatment

ThreeForMe™ Combo Treatment

Starting at $650 (Available for Face & Face + Neck)

This power protocol combines ICON 1540 Laser Resurfacing with IPL Photofacial to treat three major skin concerns in one treatment:

  • Fine lines + wrinkles
  • Sun damage + pigmentation
  • Facial veins or redness

One treatment, triple the glow. Fewer sessions, more results.

  • Step 1:

    The first uses IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and the Cynosure Icon Max G system to reduce pigmentation. IPL uses very fast pulses of light to damage melanin or blood cells in the skin, after which the body can shed them as waste.

  • Step 2:

    After IPL treatment, the Cynosure 1540XD fractional laser performs non-ablative laser resurfacing to stimulate collagen and elastin production through heat, naturally tightening and lifting the skin over time.

  • Step 3:

    The third step uses the 1540 XF laser, which performs the final touches on lightening and brightening the skin, as well as improving the skin’s tone and texture. This process requires minimal downtime and saves time you would otherwise spend on three separate sessions.

  • ✔️ Must book a consultation prior booking your treatment to ensure you are a proper candidate.

  • ✔️ Topical Retinods should be discontinued 2 weeks before and after treatment.

  • ✔️ Discontinue indoor and outdoor tanning at least 2 weeks prior, during the treatment course and 4 weeks after the treatment.

  • ✔️ Photosensitizing medications

  • ✔️ Heat Urticaria

  • ✔️ Wait 2 weeks after botox

  • ✔️ Recommending waiting 1-3 months after receiving facial fillers

  • ✔️ Vitiligo and other conditions may affect a person's result.

ICON™ IPL vs. ICON™ 1540 Laser Resurfacing: What’s the Difference?

Think of IPL as your brightening filter, while ICON 1540 is your resurfacing tool.

ICON IPL Photofacial uses light to target pigment, redness, and bacteria. It works at a more surface level and is amazing for tone correction and calming inflammation.

ICON 1540 Laser Resurfacing goes deeper—using fractional laser beams to stimulate collagen, reduce scarring, improve fine lines, and change skin texture from the inside out. Learn more about this treatment here.

IPL = Color Correction
1540 = Texture + Structural Correction
