IPL Photofacial in Calgary
Clarity, tone, and radiance, all in one.
IPL works against time to defeat brown spots, redness, and other discolouration brought on by sun exposure, aging, and genetics. Take years off sun-damaged areas with IPL. Skin tone plays a vital role in maintaining our youthful appearance, and in keeping the skin healthy.
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, and it targets a variety of skin concerns such as photo damage, sun spots, freckles, acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, redness, flushing, broken capillaries, and rosacea. The IPL pulses send the light wave through the skin’s surface, targeting specific pigment (melanocytes) within the skin. The light wave is turned to heat and absorbed by the pigment, destroying the melanocytes in the treated area. The treated, damaged pigment is broken up and then flakes away on the surface of the skin during the healing process.

An indulgence that left my skin soft, supple and touchable. They offered excellent options for ongoing skin care, tailored to my specific skin type. So pleasant & lovely! Highly recommend this clinic, and I definitely will be following through with further treatments!
I had a great experience at Skin Clinics Calgary from start to finish. The initial consultation was incredibly thorough — the team took the time to really understand my needs and answer all of my questions, which made me feel completely at ease. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, from the moment I walked in to when I left. You can tell they truly care about their clients. Also, the clinic itself is absolutely beautiful — clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed.
