IPL Photofacial At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
What Is IPL Photofacial Treatment?
Years of sunshine, ageing and daily life leave their mark on your skin. Dark patches, age spots, freckles and red flushes start to show up where you do not want them. Our IPL Photofacial fixes this in a gentle, non-surgical way.
We use Lumecca, one of the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) devices available today. The light targets pigmented and vascular lesions in your skin, heating the dark spots and broken vessels and slowly breaking them down. After just one session your skin looks fresher and clearer, and with a short course of treatments the change is striking.
Lumecca works on most parts of the face and body. We even use two different handpieces with different wavelengths so that we can treat darker skin types safely, too.
How Do We Perform Your IPL Photofacial?
Dr Tanov uses a careful, step-by-step method to treat your skin. First, we cleanse your face and fit protective eyewear. Next, we apply a cool gel to keep you comfortable. Then we glide the Lumecca handpiece across the area, sending bright flashes of light deep into your skin. The light targets only the dark spots and broken vessels, not the healthy skin around them. The whole session is quick, calm and safe, and you walk out the same day with sunscreen on and clear aftercare advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Lumecca is one of the most powerful and advanced intense pulsed light (IPL) devices in the world. It targets pigmented and vascular lesions through a process called photothermolysis. The result is a comfortable photofacial that gives a real lift in skin clarity and tone.
Most patients have no side effects at all. Any small skin reaction usually settles within a few hours. Your skin may feel sensitive to sunlight straight after, so we ask you to avoid direct sunlight and tanning for a short while.
During the treatment, you feel a bright flash, a bit like an elastic snap. Redness and a slight warmth in the skin are normal and usually fade within an hour. Over the next 24-48 hours, the dark spots get darker, then flake off in the weeks that follow. After vein treatments, the vessels may blanch or fade after a few days.
You will see a clear lift after the first session. For the best results, we recommend a course of 3 to 6 treatments. The exact plan depends on your skin type, the type of damage, and the energy settings we use.
Sun damage and complexion improvements show up within a few days of your first session. Your skin continues to look fresher and brighter over the next 1 to 2 weeks. For vascular issues like spider or leg veins, results show up within 2 weeks.
Lumecca works on most parts of the face and body. The most popular spots are those the sun hits most: face, neck, décolletage, legs, hands and arms. It is safe and effective in many other areas too.
