What is an IPL photofacial?
A laser uses a single wavelength of light. IPL uses a broad range. Brown pigment and redness absorb that light, which breaks up spots and fades visible vessels over a series of sessions.
IPL is a popular way to reverse the look of sun damage on the face, neck, chest and hands.
What IPL can help with
Sun spots
Brown spots from years of sun exposure.
Freckling
Scattered pigment that makes skin look uneven.
Redness
Flushing and general redness.
Visible capillaries
Small red vessels on the face.

IPL Photofacial questions.
Is IPL safe for dark skin?
IPL is generally best for lighter skin tones. For medium to deep skin, it carries a higher risk of burns and pigment changes, so Tacha will point you to a safer option if IPL isn’t right for you.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Most people need a series. Your plan depends on how much sun damage or redness you’re treating and is set at your consult.
What should I avoid before IPL?
Avoid tanning and heavy sun exposure beforehand, and share any medications or recent treatments. You’ll get specific prep instructions when you book.
How much does IPL cost in Atlanta?
An IPL photofacial is $625. Pricing depends on the area and your plan, and it’s confirmed at your consultation. PatientFi financing is available for eligible clients.
IPL or PICO for dark spots?
IPL is best for sun spots and redness on lighter skin. PICO is often a better fit for stubborn pigment and deeper skin tones. Tacha recommends one at your consult.
Does IPL hurt?
Most people describe a warm snap, like a rubber band, with each pulse.
