What it Treats
Sun damage, redness, and texture lead many patients to BeachGlo Aesthetics. Lumecca intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment in Nags Head is a great option for a variety of concerns, as it heals skin damage for a brightened, even complexion.
What to Expect
The IPL PhotoFacial Process
Step 1
You won’t need a consultation for a treatment like an IPL photofacial. However, if you are unsure if this treatment would be best for your skin, consultations are a great way to find out. You’d have time to discuss your aesthetic goals and ask questions while we evaluate your skin.
Step 2
When you attend the appointment for your IPL treatment in Nags Head, we recommend having your face free of makeup or products. This will make the cleansing step before your IPL photofacial go much more quickly. We will give you protective eyewear, and your esthetician will use a cold gel while they pass the IPL device over the target area.
Step 3
When your treatment is over, you can return to your day. You may notice some redness in the treated area, which will go away within a few hours. Follow the aftercare instructions–especially avoiding heat (like saunas and hot tubs) and the sun–while your skin is going through the healing process. Your skin will be especially sensitive to the sun. Protect your face from the sun. The dark spots on your face will be darker for several days until the sloughing begins
IPL Photofacial FAQs
One session with our Lumecca IPL photofacial device can improve your complexion. In one to two weeks after your treatment, you will be able to notice a clearer, more even skin tone. Lumecca can provide great results in as little as 1 to 3 sessions, depending on the severity of your skin concerns.
The results from an IPL photofacial can last up to a year. With proper sun protection, skincare, and maintenance treatments, results can last even longer.
