IPL Photofacial or LED Photofacial – Which is Right for You?

May 13, 2015 by Louanna

There are two general types of photofacial to choose from:

  1. an IPL photofacial
  2. a LED photofacial

An IPL photofacial is intended to treat:

  • Hyperpigmentation, freckles, liver spots, age spots & sun damage
  • Vascular lesions such as cherry angiomas, spider veins and redness (such as from rosacea)

An non-IPL photofacial can treat all those things AND also effectively treat acne and wrinkles.

So when you’re considering investing in a photofacial, the first question to ask yourself is, “What condition am I trying to treat?”

If it’s acne or wrinkles, you want a non-IPL photofacial.

If it’s the discoloration that comes with aging and sun exposure, such as age spots or spider veins, then you’ll have to decide if an IPL or a non-IPL photofacial is best for you.

To get you started on making that decision, here’s a quick list of what makes them different:

IPL Photofacial

  • Commonly treats hyperpigmentation, freckles, liver spots, age spots & sun damage, spider veins & red spots
  • Professionally administered
  • Feels like being ‘snapped by a rubber band”
  • Entails risk of burning
  • typical 3-8 sessions before periodic maintenance
  • achieves impressive results over time

Non-IPL Photofacial

  • Commonly treats acne & blemishes, hyperpigmentation, freckles, liver spots, age spots & sun damage, spider veins & red spots, fine lines & wrinkles by boosting collagen production
  • Self administered in your own home
  • Painless
  • No risk of burning
  • typical 8-24 sessions before periodic maintenance (collagen increases slowly over time.)
  • achieves impressive results over time
