Photo IPL facial is a skin treatment that uses a light-based technology to boost collagen, lighten brown spots, and diminish broken capillaries. An IPL photo facial delivers a bright blast of light at very high energy levels through a hand-held device. IPL photo facial is a good choice if you have a number of different goals: plumper, younger-looking skin, faded brown spots, fewer broken capillaries, and less overall redness.
