Brighten your complexion using light energy

An IPL (intense pulsed light) photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation and vascular issues. At Westhaven Aesthetics, we use the advanced Motus AZ+ technology to deliver comfortable, pain-free treatments. IPL photofacials effectively address sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and visible blood vessels by stimulating collagen production and breaking down discolored skin cells. The result is a brighter, clearer complexion with minimal downtime, suitable for various skin types and tones.

IPL photofacial treats:

  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Age spots and freckles
  • Rosacea and redness
  • Broken capillaries and visible veins
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Fine lines and mild wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other superficial scars

How does IPL photofacial with Motus AZ+ work?

IPL photofacial with Motus AZ+ uses broad-spectrum light to target melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (in blood vessels) beneath the skin’s surface. The advanced Moveo technology of Motus AZ+ delivers controlled pulses of light, which are absorbed by the pigmented cells or vascular lesions. This light energy is converted to heat, breaking down unwanted pigmentation and stimulating collagen production, leading to clearer, rejuvenated skin. The Motus AZ+ ensures safe treatments for all skin tones by using both Alexandrite and Nd:YAG wavelengths.

Benefits of Motus AZ+ IPL photofacial:

  • Safe for all skin tones with Skinclusive™ technology
  • Pain-free treatments with Moveo contact cooling
  • Faster results with fewer sessions needed
  • Effective for a wide range of skin concerns (pigmentation, vascular lesions)
  • Minimal discomfort and downtime
  • Advanced Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser wavelengths for enhanced precision

You may be an ideal candidate for IPL photofacial if:

  • You have sun damage or age spots on your skin
  • You experience redness or rosacea that needs treatment
  • You want to improve uneven skin tone or texture
  • You have fine lines or mild wrinkles you wish to address
  • You are in good overall health with no active skin infections
  • You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You do not have a history of photosensitivity or certain skin conditions

What happens during the treatment?

You will begin by discussing your skin concerns with our team. A cooling gel may be applied to your skin to enhance comfort. You’ll wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright light. The technician will use the Motus AZ+ device to deliver light pulses to the treatment area. Each pulse lasts just a fraction of a second, and you may feel a gentle warmth or tingling sensation. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes.

What is the downtime after an IPL photofacial?

Most patients experience minimal downtime. You may notice slight redness or a mild sunburn-like sensation immediately following the treatment, which usually resolves within a few hours. Some people may experience minor swelling or darkening of pigmented areas, but these effects typically subside within a few days. You can generally return to your normal activities right after the procedure, although it’s advisable to avoid sun exposure and intense exercise for 24 hours.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients describe the sensation during an IPL photofacial as mild and tolerable, often likening it to a warm rubber band snap against the skin. The advanced Motus AZ+ technology includes contact cooling, which helps further minimize discomfort during the procedure.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required varies based on your individual skin concerns and goals. Many patients benefit from a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced about 3 to 4 weeks apart. During your consultation, your skincare specialist will recommend a personalized treatment plan, ensuring optimal results tailored to your needs.

What results can I expect?

After completing your IPL photofacial treatment series, you can expect a clearer, more even skin tone with reduced pigmentation and redness. Improvements typically become more noticeable after a few weeks as your skin continues to heal and regenerate. Maintaining your results with a proper skincare routine and sun protection is essential for long-lasting effects.
