IPL photofacial, Pinecrest

Clearer, more even skin.

Years of Florida sun show up as spots and redness, and IPL can fade them, but it is not right for every skin tone, so we check yours with a skin analysis before we treat anything.

For new guests: $150 off your first session, $350 instead of $500, with a complimentary skin analysis.

Why sun damage clears best in the cooler months

Heat and sun slow healing. Lorena explains why pigmentation and sun damage treatments are best started in the fall.

If the sun has left its mark

Tell us what you are seeing, and we will show you on the scan what IPL can fade.

Sun spots and freckles you did not have before
Light is absorbed by the pigment, and the spot lifts away over the following days.
Redness and small visible veins
The same light targets the redness in the skin.
Uneven tone on the face, chest or hands
These are the areas guests treat most often.
Makeup you use mainly to even things out
The aim is to need less of it.
You are not sure it suits your skin
The skin analysis and consultation answer that before anything is treated.

If IPL is not right for your skin tone, we will say so and suggest what is.

Before you book

Does it hurt?

Most guests describe a quick, warm snap. It is over in seconds for each pulse.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually three to six, four to six weeks apart. You get your own number at the consultation.

Is it right for my skin tone?

IPL is not suitable for every skin, so we check yours with the skin analysis and consultation before we treat.

Can I come in with a tan or a spray tan?

Please wait. Leave two weeks after a spray tan or time in the sun.

What will my skin look like afterwards?

Spots usually look darker for a few days before they flake away. That is the treatment working.

What does it cost?

A session is $500. New guests get $150 off the first one, so it is $350, with a complimentary skin analysis.

Where are you?

12727 South Dixie Highway, in the Pinecrest Town Center. Open Tuesday through Saturday.
