Which specialist performs IPL photofacial?

IPL delivers broad-spectrum light that targets selected pigment or blood-vessel colour in the skin. The clinician must distinguish sun-related change from a lesion that needs medical assessment and choose settings for your skin tone and concern. They should review tanning, medicines, light sensitivity, scars, active infection, and previous cosmetic treatments. Eye protection and careful cooling are part of responsible treatment.

Choose a clinic where a qualified clinician examines you before treatment and can explain the device, expected skin response, and alternatives. Share your complete medication and skincare list, including products that increase sensitivity to light. Ask about sun avoidance, whether makeup or topical products should be paused, and who will manage a complication. Do not treat a changing or unexplained pigmented spot as a cosmetic concern without assessment.

Contact the clinic for increasing pain, blistering, marked swelling, spreading redness, or skin colour change that is worsening. Seek urgent help for eye pain or visual change, facial swelling with breathing difficulty, or signs of a severe allergic reaction. A dermatologist should review a lesion that changes, bleeds, or fails to heal.

Ask: What are you treating and how was it diagnosed? Is IPL suitable for my skin tone? Which medicines or products matter? What eye protection is used? What reaction is expected, and when should I call?
