The IPL device stimulates your body’s natural collagen production with gentle heat from the light. Our providers can selectively target skin damage at various depths while leaving the healthy tissue around it untouched.

We can address multiple skin concerns utilizing IPL at Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics in Zachary, with excellent results in all age groups and little to no recovery time. Plus, the boost to your body’s natural collagen production will cause your results to improve over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

After receiving your IPL Photofacial in Zachary, you may begin to notice results within the first 2 weeks.

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 Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
