FotoFacial™/IPL is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that improves various skin conditions. It delivers light energy pulses to the skin and targets specific pigments or blood vessels without harming the surrounding tissue. This process helps to reduce the appearance of issues like age spots, sun damage, acne scarring and rosacea.
FotoFacial™ works by using IPL (intense pulsed light) or BBL (broadband light) which sends light and heat energy into your skin. This rejuvenates the deeper dermal layers and stimulates collagen production—helping minimize wrinkles and fine lines while improving overall skin tone and texture for a more youthful appearance.
Device by location:
Glenview: INMode Lumecca (IPL)
Lake Forest: Sciton BBL
What to expect
Each FotoFacial™ session takes approximately 30-minutes making it easy to fit into a morning or afternoon schedule. A topical cooling gel is used to minimize discomfort throughout the procedure.
After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or swollen, like a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Over the following days, you may notice some darkening or crusting of pigmented spots, eventually flaking off, revealing clearer skin beneath. A series of treatments may be spaced several weeks or months apart and are recommended for optimal results.
