IPL Photo Facials: Your skin's personalised glow-up with 10 targeted filters
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, finding a treatment that delivers noticeable results without significant downtime can feel like searching for a unicorn. Enter the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photo facial, a versatile and effective solution that addresses a multitude of skin concerns. But what makes IPL truly stand out is its adaptability, thanks to a range of specialised filters. Think of them as Instagram filters, but for real-life skin rejuvenation! Let's dive into the magic behind IPL and explore 10 different filters that can transform your complexion.
What is an IPL Photo Facial?
An IPL photo facial uses broad-spectrum light to target various chromophores (colour-absorbing molecules) in the skin. This controlled light energy heats these targets, breaking them down and allowing the body to naturally eliminate them. The result? A more even, radiant, and youthful complexion.
