I Got a Sunburn After a Photofacial - What Now? I have been trying to avoid the sun (wearing sunscreen and hats) since getting my first photofacial on Friday. I wanted to deal with sun / age spots. Today (Monday) I was in a work meeting for several hours in the middle of the day in a room that had a partial frosted glass ceiling. I now have a sunburn on my face. This is NOT what I was hoping for. What can I expect now in terms of negative side effects? Are there steps I can take to try to counteract the damage?

IPL Vs. Photofacial - What's the Difference? What's the difference between IPL and a Photofacial?

A: IPL = Photofacial

IPL stands for "Intense Pulsed Light" and Photofacial, Fotofacial and any other spelling variation are all just catchy marketing terms given to this treatment. The actual treatment consists of a device utilizing light to selectively target your skin to reduce redness and brown discoloration.

I've also had two microdermabrasions which helped my skin a lot.I received my first photofacial today, predominantly for a "cherry" or broken capillary that had surfaced. I've had it for about 8 years more
	“Nightmare Photofacial - Wanted to...” I am a Hispanic lady in early 40’s. On whim I decided to use a gift certificate to salon that was given to me as a Mother’s day present. I wanted to pamper myself with the works, a facial, massage, and new hair cut.During my regular facial I was asked if I wanted younger new skin, remove unwanted hair, and address light skin discolorations. This was the first I had heard of a... more
	“Great Results!” I'm 28 years old and a medium skinned hispanic. I have undergone a series of 4/5 treatments so far using a broad band light for my photofacial. I used to go tanning a lot in my late teens/early 20's and the sun damage it caused bothered me even though it was minor. My skin glows now without makeup and I have a much better complexion since all of the brown spots came off. I even have two dark... more
