Restore a more radiant, even complexion with an IPL photofacial at Melamed Weight & Wellness. This physician-performed treatment targets sun damage, age spots, redness, and uneven skin tone using pulses of light that penetrate beneath the surface. It’s a gentle, effective way to rejuvenate your skin without surgery or extended downtime.
Restore Clarity and Youthful Radiance
IPL photofacial is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses intense pulsed light to target pigment and vascular irregularities beneath the skin’s surface. By delivering controlled light energy, it breaks down sun spots, redness, and discoloration while stimulating collagen production. This results in clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. IPL is ideal for treating the face, neck, chest, hands, or any area affected by sun damage or uneven tone. At Melamed Weight & Wellness, all treatments are physician-performed for safety, precision, and beautiful, lasting results.

How Does IPL Photofacial Work?
IPL photofacial uses broad-spectrum light pulses that penetrate the skin without damaging the surface. These light pulses are absorbed by pigment (melanin) and hemoglobin in the skin to break down discoloration and vascular lesions. The body naturally eliminates these fragments, reducing redness, sun spots, and uneven pigmentation. Simultaneously, the thermal energy stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and tone over time. The treatment is precisely calibrated for each concern to ensure controlled rejuvenation.

IPL Photofacial FAQs
What Areas Can Be Treated With IPL Photofacial?
While the face is the most common area, IPL is also highly effective on the neck, chest, hands, arms, shoulders, or any area affected by sun exposure or uneven pigmentation. Dr. Melamed will evaluate which areas will benefit most and adjust your treatment accordingly.
Does IPL Photofacial Hurt?
Most patients describe IPL as feeling like a quick snap or flick from a rubber band. Discomfort is minimal, and no anesthesia is required. At Melamed Weight & Wellness, we use personalized settings tailored to your comfort to ensure the treatment is as gentle as possible.
Is There Any Downtime After IPL Photofacial?
IPL is a no-downtime procedure, meaning you can return to normal activities immediately. However, you may experience mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling similar to a sunburn for a few hours. Some dark spots may temporarily darken and flake off within a few days as your skin renews itself. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect your results.
How Many IPL Photofacial Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients see noticeable improvement after just one session, but optimal results are typically achieved after 1 to 3 treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions recommended will depend on your skin concerns, the severity of discoloration, and the desired outcome. Dr. Melamed will create a custom plan based on your skin’s unique needs.
How Soon Will I See the Results?
Many patients notice clearer, brighter skin within a week of their first treatment. Brown spots often begin to darken and shed after a few days, and redness typically fades over time. The full results from increased collagen production and skin renewal become more visible after a few weeks and continue to improve with each session.
