You may now know that there is nothing such as a healthy tan, sun damages your skin pretty bad. Photoaging or sun damage causes enhanced development of wrinkles, brown spots, loose skin with blotchy complexion, and fine lines which get magnified or severe as you age.
At Safe Health PC, our dermatologists very well know the consequences of spending years in the sun. Excessive exposure to the sun causes many skin issues that make signs of ageing quite noticeable, look older than you are or feel. This results in a loss of confidence in your appearance. Our experts at Lansing and Mt. Pleasant, MI have experience and training in a variety of cosmetic dermatological treatments to improve your appearance and gain self-confidence. One such treatment that eliminates skin discoloration and gives you fairer and smooth skin is a Photofacial. They are exceptionally well at improving skin texture and tone, removing skin discoloration while providing a slight skin tightening effect to the skin of the face.
We help you fight the visible signs of sun damage which are skin discoloration, pigmentation, and broken blood vessels with intense pulsed light photofacials which gives you more dramatic and drastic results.
What is IPL Photofacial?
Intense Pulsed Light Photofacial is a laser skin treatment that uses light to go beneath the surface of your skin to smooth out and reduce discoloration. It works by lightening the discolored areas and produces new collagen under the skin epidermis to improve the skin tone and texture.
IPL Photofacial is an in-office, safe, and effective treatment that requires no anesthesia. It removes dark spots, skin discoloration, and other ailments created by environmental factors by targeting pigmented cells only and not touching the other cells in your skin. Photofacial treatment is performed for decreasing the signs that have been developed due to sun damage and ageing. This treatment brightens your skin and gives it a more beautiful and youthful appearance.
There is no downtime to recover. IPL treatment provides an effective solution for the busiest people of Lansing and Mt. Pleasant to meet their aesthetic goals. For exceptional results, it usually requires several laser facial sessions at regular intervals may be a few weeks apart to achieve the full effect of the photofacial treatment. You must continue your routine skincare regimen to get maximum benefits from this treatment.
How does IPL Photofacial treatment work?
IPL photofacial treatment is minimally invasive. Our clinic is designed in a way to give our clients a relaxing, soothing, and comfortable atmosphere while your skin is treated with the photofacial procedure.
Photofacial treatment involves a broad range of light colors to treat skin conditions. Filters are used to deliver light of different wavelengths to different layers of the skin. The wavelength can be adjusted and managed to depend upon the skin and what part to target.
Your eyes are protected by special eyewear to protect them from the light used during the procedure. The doctor uses handheld equipment to focus on high energy light beams on targeted areas. There is little to no pain involved during the photofacial treatment. However, you may experience inflammation, mild swelling, and discomfort but these can be healed by icing down or applying cooling gel to the area.
What skin conditions are treated by IPL Photofacials?
- Sun Spots or Age Spots
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Large pores
- Broken blood vessels- capillaries or spider veins
- Mild acne scarring
- Melasma
How to maintain the results of Photofacial?
To maintain the results practice diligent care of your mind, body, and spirit after the photofacial rejuvenation is complete. Drink plenty of water to remain well-hydrated and other healthy beverages such as green tea. Beauty sleep is a must. Staying well-rested can reduce the appearance of under-eye dark circles and helps in maintaining the energy required to remain active. Regardless of the rejuvenating treatment you choose, the finishing touch is always a happy glow and positivity created by well-being.
Every day you wake with hope and a sense of renewal, letting your inner spirit shine and ready to take on the world. Your skin should be the reflection of that inner shining spirit, clear, glowing, and distinctly you. Rejuvenating and brightening your skin with IPL photofacials help your inside to match your outside.
Laser Alternative Treatments for Flawless Skin

The procedure is very quick with no downtime. It may be a bit uncomfortable but so worth it.
Skin classics can treat those skin irregularities that lasers can’t. It uses high-frequency electrical current which dehydrates the top layers of the specific skin irregularity that is being treated to allow healthy and new skin to grow. The results are immediately visible…no waiting or hoping!

The microneedling device targets mild radiofrequency energy into your skin to repair and hydrate tissues beneath your skin. Microneedling results in healthier and more attractive skin.
This treatment is ideal for delicate areas of the face such as cheeks, sides of your skin, upper lip, and upper and lower eyelids. It stimulates the growth of both hyaluronic acid and collagen.
