Photofacials, or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), are an excellent treatment for those who would like to diminish the appearance of brown spots, redness, and signs of aging.

The IPL light also encourages the production of collagen, a natural protein that fills in wrinkles, making the skin smooth and supple.
