Photofractional in Calgary

While both IPL and ResurFX are powerful treatments in their own right, combining them in a single Photofractional session creates a synergistic effect that delivers significantly greater results than either treatment could achieve alone. The IPL component targets pigmentation, redness, and vascular irregularities on the surface, while ResurFX simultaneously works deeper within the skin to resurface, remodel, and stimulate intense collagen production. Together they address every layer of the skin in a single session — delivering a more comprehensive, efficient, and transformative outcome with fewer overall appointments and a shorter treatment journey.

As a powerful combination treatment, Photofractional does require some planned downtime. Most clients experience 5–7 days of redness, swelling, and skin sensitivity as both the IPL and fractional laser components work simultaneously to resurface and renew. Pigmented areas may temporarily darken before naturally flaking away to reveal clearer, more even skin beneath. For optimal results we recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart — with many clients achieving a dramatic and comprehensive skin transformation across this course that would otherwise require significantly more sessions of individual treatments. Your provider will design a fully personalised treatment plan at consultation based on your skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle.
