IPL Photofacial in Kitchener
Sun spots, uneven tone and redness that makeup can't hide? IPL helps clear the look of them for a more even complexion.
What is an IPL photofacial?
IPL (intense pulsed light) uses broad-spectrum light to target brown pigment and visible redness, such as sun spots, freckling and broken capillaries. After treatment, brown spots usually darken and flake away over one to two weeks, leaving a more even-looking tone. Revivify offers IPL as a 3-session series.

IPL Photofacial questions
What's the difference between IPL and laser?
Laser uses a single focused wavelength. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, which lets it treat brown spots and redness in the same session.
How many IPL sessions will I need?
Revivify offers IPL as a 3-session series, which is how most clients see the best results.
Why do my spots look darker after IPL?
That's normal and expected. Treated pigment rises to the surface, darkens, and flakes off over one to two weeks.
When is the best time of year for IPL?
Fall and winter, when sun exposure is lowest. You'll need to stay out of the sun between sessions.
