IPL Photofacial is a next-generation IPL platform that delivers high peak power for measurable improvement in sun damage, redness, freckles, age spots, and overall skin tone — often in 1 to 3 sessions. Dripology offers IPL Photofacial on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

What IPL Photofacial at Dripology Looks Like

IPL Photofacial uses intense pulsed light to target melanin and hemoglobin in the skin. The energy heats and breaks down these targets without damaging surrounding tissue. Results show within days as treated spots darken and then flake off.

  • Sun damage — freckles, age spots, mottled tone from accumulated UV.
  • Redness — diffuse facial redness, rosacea-type flushing.
  • Pigmentation — uneven tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  • Areas treated — face, neck, chest (décolletage), hands, arms.

Who It’s For

Clients with Fitzpatrick I–III skin types who want to clear sun damage and unify skin tone. Best results from a series, though many clients see dramatic improvement after a single session.

What to Expect

  • Consultation and skin assessment before first session.
  • Treatment runs 15 to 30 minutes depending on area.
  • Mild sunburn-like sensation during pulses, brief redness afterward.
  • Treated spots darken over 24 to 48 hours, then flake off over the next week.

Common Questions

How much does IPL Photofacial cost?

Pricing depends on area and number of sessions. Single sessions and series of 3 are both available.

How many sessions do I need?

Many clients see dramatic improvement after one session. A series of 2 to 3 is recommended for comprehensive correction.

Is it safe for all skin tones?

IPL Photofacial is most appropriate for Fitzpatrick I–III. Darker tones carry higher risk and may be better served by other modalities.

What is the downtime?

Minimal. Mild redness for a few hours; treated spots darken then flake off naturally over a week.

Can I combine with RF Microneedling?

Yes — IPL Photofacial corrects pigment and redness; RF Microneedling remodels texture and firmness. Often combined.
