Enjoy smoother skin with a more even tone at Anna's Spa & Wellness Centre

Photo Facial is perfect for those whose skin reflects early signs of aging and who cannot afford the recovery time associated with other procedures. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is an extremely successful method of treating skin blemishes.

These include sun damaged skin (age spots), facial blood vessels (broken capillaries) that are close to the surface of the skin, uneven pigmentation, wrinkling and facial redness due to rosacea.

It is also a wonderful treatment for the flushing redness that people often experience after eating spicy food, heat, drinking alcohol or after a stressful or emotional event. IPL treatments leave a rejuvenated, soft, smooth and even-toned appearance without a lengthy healing time.

IPL (Intensive Pulse Light) does not have the side effects of past laser treatment such as scarring, downtime, pain or oozing. IPL is one of the most popular treatments because of the improvements it provides. Approximately 3-6 treatments are needed to achieve the desired results or may be more depending upon skin condition/treatment area. Most patients are extremely happy with the cosmetic results after 2 treatments.

On average treatment time varies between 15 min to 60 mins. depending upon body part and skin concern getting treated. The skin is pre-treated with a cool gel. Then, a hand-held device emits small intense bursts of light to the skin. The targeted areas such as blood vessels, brown discoloration or redness absorb the light wave, heats up and are broken down. However, normal skin surrounding the problem area is minimally affected. The procedure is continued until all of the abnormal skin has received the small pulses of light.
