The IPL Photofacial Process
Frequently Asked Questions
The results of IPL Photofacial generally last up to 1 year after completing your initial series of treatments. Annual treatments can help maintain results longer.
Your skin will look good for many months after your last treatment. However, the aging process will continue, and your skin will lose its radiant tone and smooth texture over time.
This depends on your skin’s condition and how much correction is required. Our skincare specialists at Northlife Aesthetic and Wellness will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
