About Photofacials and Facial Laser Treatments

Photorejuvenation (or Photofacial) is a non-invasive dermal procedure that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to improve skin clarity and texture for an overall even, younger-looking complexion. This safe, quick facial laser treatment can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, making it the perfect lunch hour facial.

Each photorejuvenation treatment is tailored to treat the client’s specific skin concerns, as well as their unique skin type. This ensures superior cosmetic results and supreme client satisfaction.
