Evaluation of photofacial should be at around 2-3 weeks, and another treatment in 4-5 weeks. This time is enough to allow blood vessels to resolve, and allowing enough time for brown pigment to flake off.

Photofacial results can be great for facial rejuvenation
Photofacial (IPL, intense pulsed light) is a great office treatment for brown discoloration in the skin from sun damage, red discoloration from tiny blood vessels, and for lines and wrinkles. A series of treatments is needed, generally spaced 3-4 weeks apart. You will notice initial darkening of any brown spots on the face, which will then flake off after a few days. There is no downtime, as you can cover with makeup immediately after treatment.
