Brighten, Even, and Refresh with Photofacials in Tuscaloosa

If sun damage, redness, or uneven skin tone is stealing the spotlight from your natural glow, a photofacial can help. Using gentle pulses of light, we target discoloration, redness, and visible veins to reveal a smoother, clearer, more radiant complexion. It’s a quick, non-invasive treatment that refreshes your skin from the inside out, so you can look and feel your best without missing a beat.

Light Years Ahead in Skincare

How a Little Light Can Change Everything

Think of a photofacial as giving your skin a refresh from the inside out. We use advanced IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, which sends quick bursts of light into the deeper layers of your skin. That light zeroes in on discoloration, redness, and tiny visible veins, breaking them down so your body can naturally clear them away.

And the best part? It leaves the surrounding skin untouched. Over time, you’ll see your complexion become brighter, more even, and more youthful-looking like your skin just hit the reset button.

Light Therapy 101

Your Most Asked Photofacial Questions, Answered

How often can I get a photofacial?

Most people start with treatments every three to four weeks until they reach their desired results. This timing allows your skin to heal and for pigment to fade naturally between sessions. Once you’ve hit your goals, many clients switch to maintenance treatments a few times a year to keep their skin looking bright and even.

Will my skin peel after a photofacial?

Not in the same way it would after a chemical peel, but you might notice dark spots or freckles temporarily darken before flaking away naturally. This is a sign the treatment is working. Most people find their skin looks refreshed and more even-toned within a week or two.

Can I wear makeup after my photofacial?

It’s best to give your skin at least 24 hours before applying makeup so it has time to calm and recover. If you do wear makeup the next day, choose something light and non-comedogenic to avoid irritation. Many clients find they need less makeup after a few sessions because their skin looks so even and refreshed.

Who shouldn’t get a photofacial?

Photofacials aren’t a good fit if you’re pregnant, taking certain medications that make your skin light-sensitive, or have an active skin infection in the treatment area. It’s also not ideal if you’ve had recent sun exposure or a fresh tan, since IPL targets pigment and could cause irritation. We’ll review your health history during your consultation to make sure this treatment is completely safe for you.

How long will my results last?

That depends on your skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Many clients enjoy their results for several months and keep their skin looking its best with seasonal maintenance sessions. Wearing SPF daily will help your results last longer and protect your skin from future damage.
