Book your appointment with us today when you’re ready to work together!
During IPL, we’ll treat your skin with brief pulses of intense light. As your skin absorbs this light, it converts into heat, which activates your skin’s healing processes while boosting collagen production. Spots of discoloration and pigmentation absorb more of this light, providing concentrated regeneration in those areas.
We typically recommend 3 to 6 sessions of IPL spaced a month apart. Over time, clients experience a more even skin tone, smoother texture, less visible sun damage, and overall a healthier complexion.
Want to find the best technology for your IPL photofacial in Wheeling? At ThrIVe, we trust Venus Versa, which combines multiple treatments into a single device to address your most urgent aesthetics concerns.
An IPL photofacial with Venus Versa works to reduce visible signs of aging. It uses SmartPulse technology that delivers precise waves of light to multiple lower layers of your skin. Its applicator also comes with real-time cooling technology that protects and soothes your skin throughout the entire session.
Using Venus Versa Tribella, we can do more for you beyond just an IPL photofacial. This non-invasive treatment includes IPL, RF skin tightening, and RF microneedling all in one session. Together, these treatments work to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and firmness.
Want to get even better results from IPL? Visit us for an IPL photofacial in Wheeling, and combine it with MOXI laser skin rejuvenation! These treatments work together to brighten and heal your skin, giving you a healthier, more youthful complexion.
After visiting us for an IPL photofacial in Wheeling, it takes about 45 days after your last session to see the full results. This is because IPL treats your concerns at the source, deep within the skin.
As your old, damaged skin cells die and naturally flake away, new and healthy cells will replace them. This process takes several weeks, but the results are well worth the wait!
The duration of your results depends on how your skin reacts to treatment and how well you take care of your skin. By wearing sunscreen, following a consistent skincare routine, and visiting us for periodic maintenance sessions, you can enjoy clearer, healthier skin that lasts!
The difference is hidden in their names. IPL uses broadband spectrums of light, while laser treatments use a targeted wavelength of light.
We generally consider IPL treatments to be gentler on your skin, since they pass through the surface of your skin to treat the deeper layers. We call this a non-ablative treatment. Laser skin treatments can be non-ablative like IPL, or they can be ablative, which means they vaporize or destroy tissue.
Unsure about which is the right fit for you? Ask the experts! By scheduling a consultation at ThrIVe, you can get a professional recommendation on whether IPL, a laser treatment, or a combination of both is right for your goals.
Most clients feel little to no discomfort during their IPL photofacial in Wheeling. Some people describe the sensation as a light snap against the skin. However, your individual experience will depend on your skin’s sensitivity and the area being treated.
Venus Versa has a cooling feature built into the applicator which will soothe your skin during treatment. If you do feel uncomfortable at any point during the treatment, let your provider know! We can make adjustments to the device and your treatment plan to ensure your comfort.
