Redness, pigment, or stubborn breakouts? Light work.
If you’ve ever wished you could hit delete on redness, sun spots, broken capillaries, or the ghost of a breakout past—the ICON™ IPL Photofacial is your skin’s comeback moment. We use intense pulsed light (IPL) to zap away the things you don’t want, and bring out the clarity you do.

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.

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.

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.
