IPL Photofacial

Improving your appearance can be as simple as getting an IPL photofacial.
The IPL (Intense Pulse Light) photofacial is a noninvasive cosmetic treatment that uses cutting edge technology to target the deep tissues under the skin and prompt the body to produce more collagen, a process that slows down with prolonged sun exposure and age. It can eliminate many of the sunspots, broken capillaries, and acne scars that can take away from a person’s true beauty. We’re happy to offer this treatment to people who want a better way to enhance the way they look.

We always look forward to seeing people smile after they’ve received our customized laser hair removal.
