Intense Pulsed Light and Broadband Light Treatment at Fulcrum Aesthetics & Surgery

What Are Photofacials (BBL & IPL)?

Photofacials are advanced skin treatments that use light-based technologies to improve skin tone and texture. BBL (broadband light) and IPL (intense pulsed light) are two of the most effective photofacial techniques. BBL uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat skin imperfections, while IPL uses intense pulsed light to address various skin concerns. Both treatments deliver light energy into the skin, which targeted areas absorb, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes and promoting collagen production. This results in a smoother, clearer, and more youthful complexion.

What to Expect: The Photofacial Procedure

The photofacial procedure at Fulcrum Aesthetics is designed to be your quick and comfortable path to a rejuvenated complexion and confidence. Here’s what you can expect from the process:

  1. Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and assess your skin’s condition, curating a customized treatment plan to help you meet your goals.
  2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, we will cleanse your skin and, if necessary, apply a topical numbing cream for your comfort.
  3. Light Treatment: Our skilled practitioners then use the BBL or IPL device to deliver light energy to the targeted areas of your skin, addressing imperfections and promoting collagen production.
  4. Final Assessment: After the treatment, we will assess the results and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Photofacial Recovery & Results

Recovery from a photofacial is minimal, allowing you to return to your daily activities shortly after the procedure. You may experience some redness and mild swelling, but these effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Following our aftercare instructions, including using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure, is essential to protect your skin and maintain your results.

Results from photofacials become noticeable within a few days, with continued improvement over the following weeks as your skin heals and regenerates. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results. Regular maintenance treatments can help you preserve your skin’s youthful glow and address new skin concerns as they appear.
