Clear Up Skin Pigmentation Problems
The IPL® Photofacial at The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics utilizes intense pulsed light to break down excess pigmentation in the skin without harming the surrounding tissues.
Dr. Baker also recommends this treatment for scar revision. IPL® Photofacial treatments are most often performed in the facial area but can also benefit pigmentation problems on the body, such as the chest and hands.
About
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a cutting-edge skin treatment designed to address various skin concerns using broad-spectrum light technology.
At The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics, IPL Photofacial targets pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone to rejuvenate your complexion and restore a radiant, youthful glow.
The treatment utilizes high-intensity light pulses that penetrate the skin, targeting specific chromophores (color) such as melanin and hemoglobin. This process helps to reduce the appearance of:

This leads to a more even and luminous skin tone. IPL Photofacial is suitable for various skin types and can be customized to meet your specific skincare needs.
